Benefits of Medicinal Cannabis

Medical marijuana is not for everyone. Strong anecdotal evidence exists for the support of medical marijuana in treating pain, ease the harsh effect of chronic diseases and helps relieve many other conditions.

Eases the pain of multiple sclerosis

Weed works to stop the negative neurological effects and muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis. A study published in the Canadian Medical Association suggests that marijuana may ease painful symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

Jody Cory Bloom studied 30 multiple sclerosis patients with painful contractions in their muscles. These patients didn’t respond to other medications, but after smoking marijuana for few days, they reported that they were in less pain. The THC in the pot bonds the receptors in the nerves and muscles to relieve pain.


Soothes tremors for patients with Parkinson’s disease

Recent studies from Israel shows that smoking marijuana remarkably reduces pains and tremors and improves sleep for Parkinson’s disease patients. What was impressive about the research was the improvement of the fine motor skills among patients.

."There had been reported marked reductions in the Israeli media about the ability of marijuana to reduce tremor," Djaldetti said. "We saw a reduction in tremor but it was less dramatic in our clinic than on television. The patients told us that the beneficial effect of cannabis smoking lasts for about 2 to 3 hours."

Cancer

How can marijuana affect symptoms of cancer? A number of small studies of smoked marijuana found that it can be helpful in treating nausea and vomiting from cancer chemotherapy.

A few studies have found that inhaled (smoked or vaporized) marijuana can be helpful treatment of neuropathic pain (pain caused by damaged nerves).

Smoked marijuana has also helped improve food intake in HIV patients in studies.

There are no studies in people of the effects of marijuana oil or hemp oil.

Studies have long shown that people who took marijuana extracts in clinical trials tended to need less pain medicine.
More recently, scientists reported that THC and other cannabinoids such as CBD slow growth and/or cause death in certain types of cancer cells growing in laboratory dishes. Some animal studies also suggest certain cannabinoids may slow growth and reduce spread of some forms of cancer.

Glaucoma 

Medical marijuana is promoted as a treatment for many diseases, including glaucoma. And now that the sale and possession of marijuana has been legalized in states like Colorado and Washington, it can be easier than ever to self medicate as a glaucoma treatment without consulting your ophthalmologist. But does it really work?

Glaucoma is an eye condition in which the optic nerve becomes damaged over time, reducing side vision. It sometimes leads to blindness. One cause of optic nerve damage in glaucoma is higher-than-normal pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure or "IOP").
Currently, the only way to control glaucoma and prevent vision loss is to lower your IOP levels. Your ophthalmologist can treat glaucoma with medication, such as prescription eye drops, or surgery, depending on the type of glaucoma and how severe it is.

The idea that marijuana can be helpful in treating glaucoma dates to the 1970s.

Muscle spasms

Muscle spasms are sudden contractions of a muscle. Entire muscle groups may also be affected at the same time. A spasm can range in intensity between short, tight pulses and long crippling contractions. In severe cases, muscle groups “lock”, causing temporary paralysis.

In a 2012 clinical trial conducted by University of California, San Diego School of Medicine,
30 walking-impaired Multiple Sclerosis patients were given either synthetic THC or a placebo. Many of the subjects relied on walking aids to cope with their various disorders.

The outcome after given synthetic cannabis? The subjects that smoked THC saw a spasticity decrease of one-third more than those given the placebo. They also saw significant reductions in perceived muscle-related pain.
The causes of muscle spasms vary greatly. Sometimes things as simple as staying still too long or not drinking enough water can trigger a spasm. Other times, a spasm or contraction may be caused by a debilitating disorder.

There are a variety of ways medical marijuana can help. Depending on the type of spasm, it may be beneficial to use cannabis in one form over another. In some cases, marijuana is helpful to cover up symptoms like an over-the-counter painkiller. Yet, when it comes to certain illnesses, researchers think marijuana may help treat the disorder directly.

Marijuana is known to be used by some of the brightest and intelligent minds, present day and past!!
