Can cannabis relieve psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis?

My wife has been struggling with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for years. We've tried many treatments, but the relief is temporary. We heard some buzz about cannabis for these conditions. Can cannabis actually relieve psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis symptoms significantly?

At this age, my joints creak more than my old scooter, and this skin itching makes it worse! I've heard people talk about cannabis oils, but honestly, I think it's just another fancy trend. I'll stick to my doctor's regular ointment and prayers.

I know exactly how exhausting and painful psoriatic arthritis is, both physically and emotionally. It's totally natural to look for anything that might help stop the pain. But please protect yourself and consult a dermatologist before trying alternative things.

Psoriasis causes a lot of pain and burning, bhai. In our town, people use pure coconut oil to soothe the skin dryness. Cannabis sounds very risky and we don't know much about it, so please ask a big doctor in a good hospital first.

With autoimmune issues like psoriatic arthritis, your immune system is already hyperactive. Trying cannabis without medical supervision could trigger a bad reaction or worsen your flare-ups. Get a proper clinical assessment done first.

I was just reading about this because my skin has started flaking a lot recently and my fingers hurt. Is cannabis really safe to use for this, or does it have bad side effects? If anyone has actually tried it under a doctor's guidance, please let me know.
