Times are changing, and legislation is slowly changing to reflect the progressive generation. People are finally taking notice of the health benefits cannabis can provide. Over 200,000 Missouri residents have their medical marijuana card and are already reaping the benefits.
We know that marijuana can be useful for insomnia and general sleep problems, as well as chronic pain. And we know that people who have trouble eating can also benefit from cannabis. But this just scratches the surface, as cannabis offers so many more benefits than these.
Cancer
Did you know that cannabis can slow or even stop cancer cells from spreading throughout a patient’s system? That’s right. Multiple studies have already been conducted showing favorable results.
The American Association for Cancer also found that cannabis actually considerably slows down tumor growth in areas of the brain, breasts, and lungs.
Arthritis
Marijuana reduces inflammation and general pain, which can help to relieve discomfort for people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Epilepsy
Marijuana can help control seizures. Strains that are rich in CBD content has seen to benefit patients suffering from epilepsy.
Epilepsy patients have reported that cannabis-use reduces seizure activity, but it isn’t for everyone. Make sure to consult with your doctor before adding cannabis to your treatment plan.
Multiple Sclerosis
MS can be an extremely difficult condition to live with, as it can affect every aspect of a person’s life. Cannabis can help!
There have been studies that show how marijuana may ease the painful symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis, including muscle spasms and neurological effects.
Parkinson’s
Cannabis can ease tremors and improve sleep for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Recent studies conducted in Israel show this in detail.
Israel has conducted a plethora of marijuana research studies, since they have already legalized it, allowing for less legal hurdles when it comes to research.
Crohn’s
Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that can be very tough to live with. The symptoms are especially uncomfortable, and they include fatigue, fever, diarrhea, pain and cramping, loss of appetite and weight, low energy, and so much more.
A recent study, also conducted in Israel, concluded that smoking marijuana considerably reduced the severity of symptoms in 10 out of 11 Crohn’s patients. This is a small study, but many other studies show very similar results.
Struggling with weight loss and loss of appetite can be really hard on a person, and cannabis is known for helping with these symptoms.
Chemo
The effects of chemo can be moderate or extremely severe. Some of the most common side effects include fatigue, hair loss, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, aches, weakness, and more. Many chemo patients use marijuana, because they believe it helps the severity of many of their symptoms.
Marijuana can reduce general pain and nausea, and increase appetite, so it’s no wonder why so many chemo patients swear by it!
