What Is Medical Marijuana Used For?

Medical Cannabis is used diversely, countries, where medical marijuana is legal, have approved it for a varying list of conditions. Depending on where you live, these might include:

• Severe and chronic pain
• Multiple sclerosis and muscle spasms
• Severe nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatment
• Epilepsy and seizures
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• HIV/AIDS
• Crohn’s disease
• Glaucoma
• Migraine
• Anorexia
• Extreme weight loss and weakness (wasting syndrome)
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Post-traumatic stress disorder

It is important to know that many of the uses that states allow aren’t backed by strong scientific evidence. This is partly because researchers find it hard to do studies on a drug that remains illegal under federal law, even when it’s allowed by states.

It’s crucial to realize that cannabis is almost always used to treat symptoms — like the muscle spasms of multiple sclerosis and the loss of appetite caused by HIV drugs — rather than the conditions themselves.

Benefits of Medical Marijuana 

Cannabinoids, the active chemicals in medical marijuana, are similar to chemicals the body makes that are involved in appetite, memory, movement, and pain.

So far, solid studies suggest that these chemicals can:

• Control vomiting in people undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Drugs based on two lab-made forms of THC are FDA-approved for this purpose.
• Modestly reduce pain in people with conditions such as nerve damage, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Reduce muscle spasms in people with multiple sclerosis. (There’s less evidence it helps muscle spasms in people with spinal cord injuries).
• Improve sleep in the short term for people with obstructive sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, or multiple sclerosis.
• Increase appetite and decrease weight loss in people with HIV and AIDS.
• Reduce tics in people with Tourette’s syndrome.
• Reduce anxiety in people with social anxiety disorder.
• Improve symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
