Heroin Addiction
Studies have shown cannabis reduces withdrawal symptoms and therefore can be used in the early treatment for addiction.
HIV/AIDS
Studies have shown cannabis helps make side effects of HIV/AIDS treatment more manageable.
Hydrocephalus
Studies have shown that cannabis helps improve the secondary symptoms associated with the condition.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis)
Studies have shown cannabis is effective at decreasing digestive tract inflammation and in some cases can help patients achieve long-term remission.
Leukemia
Studies have shown cannabis stimulates leukemia cell death and assists in the management of symptoms associated with cancer and traditional cancer treatments.
Lupus
Studies have shown cannabis reduces inflammation and pain caused by the disease.
Migraines
Studies have shown cannabis reduces pain caused by migraines.
Mitochondrial Disease
Studies have shown cannabis is effective at helping patients manage symptoms associated with the disease.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Studies have shown cannabis reduces pain and muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis and helps slow the disease’s progression.
Muscular Dystrophy
Studies have shown cannabis helps reduce pain and involuntary muscle contractions.
Nail-Patella Syndrome
Studies have shown cannabis can reduce pain and lower the risk and progression of glaucoma and kidney disease, which can develop from nail-patella syndrome.
Nausea
Studies have shown cannabis helps curtail nausea once it’s developed and helps reduce anticipatory nausea.
Neurological Disorders
Studies have shown cannabis has neuro-protective benefits and helps reduce pain associated with the disorders.
Obesity
Studies have shown cannabis can produce weight loss.
Retinal Damage
Studies have shown cannabis reduces ocular toxicity and can protect the retina from degeneration damage.
Parkinson’s Disease
Studies have shown cannabis reduces the progression of Parkinson’s disease and helps manage associated symptoms.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Studies have shown cannabis can lessen the emotional impact of traumatic events, reduce anxiety and fear, and improve sleep.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Studies have shown cannabis can reduce inflammation and thus potentially help treat arthritis.
Schizophrenia
Studies have shown that cannabidiol, found in cannabis, can serve as an antipsychotic treatment.
Sickle Cell Anemia
Studies have shown cannabis lowers pain caused by the disorder and helps maintain proper blood flow.
Spasms
Studies have shown cannabis effectively reduces the frequency and intensity of spasms.
Spastic Quadriplegia
Studies have shown cannabis helps patients manage spasms, seizures and pain.
Spinal Cord Disease
Studies have shown cannabis improves pain, sleep, and spasms that arise.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Studies have shown cannabis can limit neurological damage when administered shortly after the moment of trauma and later help manage pain and spasms.
Syringomyelia
Studies have shown cannabis can help reduce pain, sleeping problems and spasms associated with the condition.
Stroke
Studies have shown cannabis can limit brain damage and improves recovery when administered shortly after a stroke.
Tourette’s Syndrome
Studies have shown cannabis can safely reduce the frequency of tics.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Studies have shown cannabis can limit brain damage and improves recovery when it’s administered shortly after the traumatic blow.
Tumors
Studies have shown cannabis has demonstrated antitumor effects.
