Marijuana leaves on medical symbol
Medical marijuana use is on the rise and is now legal in 33 states and in four US territories, there are a number of new patients that are joining in and using it regularly.
Medical marijuana is basically the same product as recreational forms, the only difference is that it has been checked for its purity and it’s designed to treat a variety of diseases and conditions. Medical marijuana contains more than 100 different cannabinoids and the two main chemicals that are used in treatment include THC and CBD. Medical marijuana treatments are used to produce results in treating the following conditions.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Treating inflammatory bowel disease means using a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. The use of medical marijuana can be particularly helpful for assisting with this life-threatening disease.
Epileptic Seizures
Seizures caused by epilepsy can be treated particularly effectively with marijuana or CBD oil. Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy and treating this condition with CBD oil or marijuana can be effective for managing abnormal brain activity.
Multiple Sclerosis
MS is an autoimmune disease and it affects the central nervous system. By using medical marijuana you can prevent abnormal brain activity that causes the immune system to attack the brain. This can often reduce the degree of numbness, pain, paralysis, fatigue and more.
Medical marijuana can assist the human body by managing pain and inflammation. When used regularly in low doses medical marijuana has few side effects. If you are interested in trying medical marijuana for managing pain or anxiety, consider speaking to your doctor today!
