Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the Cannabidiol is a CNS stimulant and the methotrexate is anti inflammatory for rheumatoid purpose.
* The use of stimulant will suppress feeling of pain via modifications at mu receptors in the brain neurons and Methotrexate will act via immune modulation.
* Both can be considered together with recommended dose intake as per the doc advise.
As over dose of Cannabidiol can be disastrous with Methotrexate intake.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
