I am 61 and thought the migraine would get better after menopause, but that is when it got worse! I never used marijuana recreationally, but did try it several months ago for migraine. It did help--I think it helped some of my neck/nerve pain that was fueling the migraine. Anyway, I experimented with different combos and for me it was the THC that helped, and studies I have read seem to agree.

I did gummies as I had no interest in smoking it. ANd I wanted to use it for prevention, not treatment. So, I take it every night before I go to bed, I don't take it when I get a headache. My neurologist said you are more likely to get Medication Overuse Headache (which can give you more headaches) if you smoke it and use it just when you get a headahce, than if you use it preventatively with an edible. I don't know if that has been clearly established with scientific studies or not.

Anyway, if you decide to try it, just start really really low. The dose I started on was so low I didn't feel anything at all! Then I crept up every few days until I found it helping. For some reason I don't really get high from it, just a little drowsy but not too bad since I take it at night anyway.

Of note, I live in a state where cannabis is legal for anyone.

Well I am 78 and my neurologist(s) never said I was too old for migraines. That is ridiculous. Qulipta and all the others did not work for me. I had this headache for almost 6 years every day/all day which includes worsening dizziness.
