15 Diseases and Ailments Marijuana May Help Fight

Because popular news articles like this do not contain uses for stroke stroke will never be added to medical marijuana laws. We need full legalization.
My 13 reasons for marijuana use post-stroke. Don't follow me but I will figure out some way to get some after my next stroke.

 Treating brain diseases with marijuana 


15 Diseases and Ailments Marijuana May Help Fight


1. & 2. Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
3. Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)

4. Spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis
GW Pharmaceuticals also has Sativex, an approved oromucosal spray in 15 countries outside the U.S. that contains CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the hallucinogenic property of marijuana. In clinical studies Sativex was shown to reduce spasticity, or the tightness of muscles, in patients with multiple sclerosis.
5. Type 2 diabetes
6. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting & 7. Anorexia for patients suffering weight loss with AIDS
8. Chronic pain

9. Organ transplant rejection

10. Alzheimer's disease
Another potential benefit? How about treating Alzheimer's patients, of which there are about 5 million today, per the Alzheimer's Association. An abstract report published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease showed that at the six-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour time marks THC lowered beta-amyloid levels in a dose-dependent manner. Beta-amyloid plaques are what stick to the brains of Alzheimer's patients, resulting in progressive cognitive decline.
11. Brain cancer
12. Schizophrenia

13. Parasitic infections

14. Glaucoma

15. Inflammatory bowel diseases
