Which Ailments Can Marijuana Most Effectively Treat?

Ailments Can Marijuana Most Effectively Treat

The acceptance of medical marijuana as treatment has grown to the extent that many are already seeking medical treatment via cannabis. A multitude of services, such as cannabis clinics, dispensaries, and cannabis and medical marijuana delivery, have cropped up in order to supply an increasing number of patients.

Despite these advances, medical marijuana has not yet received the extensive clinical study that could provide strong validation of its therapeutic and medicinal effects. However, a number of smaller-scale studies do exist that have documented its effectiveness in treating certain illnesses.

Below Are Ten Ailments And The Effectiveness Of Medical Marijuana On Their Treatment:

AIDS/HIV

 Medical marijuana may help with the neuropathic pain which sufferers of AIDS/HIV experience. The findings are similar to those of oral drugs used for chronic neuropathic pain derived from HIV-associated sensory neuropathy.

Cannabis has also shown promising effects in treating the symptoms of wasting syndrome, which include appetite loss, pain, and anxiety. It may therefore provide significant relief as a form of lifestyle improvement for those afflicted with AIDS/HIV.

Alzheimer’s

There is a possibility that marijuana could slow the progression of the protein deposits that may cause Alzheimer’s. There is still speculation concerning the cause of Alzheimer’s and whether such proteins are linked to the disease.

Marijuana is more useful in treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, which include lessening agitated behavior (sleeping better or feeling less worried or depressed) and help gaining weight.

Arthritis

Cannabinoids can help regulate the secretion and function of regulatory proteins from immune cells. As a result, marijuana may aid in the treatment of inflammatory disease. Patients have reported less pain on movement and at rest following use of medical marijuana as treatment. Medical marijuana additionally helps patients to sleep better.

Asthma

 Studies have proven that cannabis may have potent dilating effects on the airways. However, its therapeutic value is eclipsed by the fact that some patients respond to smoking marijuana with bronchospasm, which causes constriction of the air passages in the lung.

Cancer

 Evidence has suggested that marijuana may kill certain cancer cells. It could also stop cancerous tumor growth. THC, an active compound within marijuana, was shown to improve the effectiveness of radiation on cancer cells in mice.

Cannabis has proven to be a more potent aid for cancer patients’ life improvement. It has been known to prevent the nausea accompanying chemotherapy and is especially useful for patients with a severity of these symptoms: inhaling marijuana is recognized for its ease of consumption since it eliminates the problems of swallowing and keeping down a pill. The British Medical Association and the American Institute of Medicine have both declared medical marijuana used for the nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy as one of the best therapeutic uses of cannabis.

Chronic pain

 According to the Institute of Medicine, both animal and human studies involving cannabinoids have shown “substantial analgesic effect.” This belief has existed as early as the 1800s whereby it was widely used for pain relief.

As mentioned earlier, there is evidence that cannabinoids may be involved in the regulation of neuropathic pain. Studies also suggest that it may also help with acute pain.

Crohn’s disease

 Cannabinoids can have an effect on gastrointestinal motility and could additionally have an anti-diarrheal effect. Marijuana is most useful in this respect for improving Crohn’s disease patients’ quality of life: weight gain, pain reduction, and improvement in mental distress can all be addressed with medical cannabis.

Epilepsy

 In a study of 213 patients, medical marijuana administered to patients resulted in a reduction in frequency of certain seizures. More solid evidence regarding the use of marijuana to treat epilepsy has yet to be discovered.

Glaucoma

 THC can impact the optic nerve and lower eye pressure. However, it may also lower blood pressure, which could be damaging to the optic nerve on account of low blood supply.

Multiple Sclerosis

 Marijuana may help with muscle spasms, tremors, pain, and stiffness.
