The Therapeutic Properties of Cannabis

<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Just a few decades ago&comma; the idea of being able to possess legal marijuana seemed surreal&period; Now&comma; there are several dispensaries and <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;cannabisgrowingcanada&period;com&sol;canna-clinic&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener">Canna Clinics in Canada<&sol;a>&period; A lot of influence on that had multiple studies and clinical trials&comma; which were examining the therapeutic properties that marijuana could have&comma; and who in the end confirmed that cannabis could be used as a form of treatment for many illnesses&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">If you want to find out more about the therapeutic properties of marijuana and what they could help with&comma; all you have to do is keep reading&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Chronic Pain<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Chronic pain is something that affects one in five Canadians&period; The most common method of fighting with it are opioids and painkillers&comma; which are very addictive&period; As a result of their over-prescription&comma; many countries suffered from the epidemic of overdose&comma; and the number of deaths caused by it is continuously rising&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">However&comma; some of the recent studies discovered that cannabis can be of great help when it comes to managing pain&period; For instance&comma; in 2017&comma; there was an online survey directed to female patients which showed that most of them experienced a notable reduction in pain after using cannabis&period; Furthermore&comma; a study conducted in 2019 discovered that older people&comma; who were diagnosed with either chronic pain&comma; Parkinson’s disease or neuropathy have experienced a significant decrease in their symptoms and were less dependent on opioids while using CBD formulation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Epilepsy<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Around one-third of people suffering from epilepsy have seizures that cannot be treated with the existing medication&period; However&comma; recent studies have shown that cannabis can be a perfect solution for those people &&num;8211&semi; especially since there is evidence that these practices were used during ancient and medieval times&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Research regarding this matter was conducted in 2017 on 120 children and young adults&period; The participants were consuming either CBD or a placebo&comma; to establish if the number of convulsive seizures will change&period; Among those who were given CBD&comma; 43&percnt; experienced a reduction of at least 50&percnt;&comma; and 5&percnt; became seizure-free&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Anxiety<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;newsforpublic&period;com&sol;cbd-oil-anxiety-depression&sol;">Anxiety<&sol;a>&comma; to put it simply&comma; is one of how your body reacts to stress &&num;8211&semi; the fear of what is about to come&period; It affects more than 3 million Canadians aged 18 and up&period; When it comes to marijuana and anxiety&comma; the matter is slightly complicated&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The first reason for the complication is the fact that marijuana affects every person differently&period; You might not get the feeling of relaxation after using it&comma; while your friend might feel as if they are on a beach in the Bahamas&period; Also&comma; some research shows that marijuana is beneficial for people dealing with anxiety&comma; but only if its use is short-term&period; When used long-term&comma; it might actually have the opposite effect and increase the symptoms of anxiety&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>PTSD<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">PTSD&comma; also known as Post-traumatic stress disorder&comma; is a psychiatric condition that appears after experiencing a traumatic life event&comma; such as war&comma; sexual assault&comma; accidents&comma; etc&period; It can cause&comma; for example&comma; flashbacks&comma; insomnia&comma; nightmares which increase the risks of depression&comma; substance abuse or suicide&period; Around one in 10 Canadians suffer from PTSD&period; For many people&comma; finding relief in it is very hard to achieve with conventional treatments&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">When it comes to PTSD&comma; the situation is almost identical as to when it comes to anxiety and marijuana&period; However&comma; further research is still needed&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Cancer<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">It was scientifically proven that cannabis has the ability to slow the cancer cells from spreading&period; Marijuana turns off gene Id-7&comma; which was confirmed when researchers used it on a breast cancer cell which had a high percentage of Id-7&period; The percentage decreased&comma; and the cells didn’t spread as quickly as before&period; What’s more&comma; AACR &lpar;American Association for Cancer Research&rpar; found that marijuana can actually slow down the process of tumour growth in the brain&comma; lungs and breast&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Also&comma; it was proven that marijuana helps people who are suffering from nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy&comma; in stopping those symptoms&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;newsforpublic&period;com&sol;cannabis-control-law-canada&sol;">Cannabis has been used as medicine<&sol;a> as far as in ancient times&period; However&comma; during the 20th century&comma; due to people’s concerns about its psychoactive properties&comma; the drug became illegal&comma; and people couldn’t use it anymore&period; Despite that&comma; nowadays&comma; marijuana is slowly becoming legal again&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">A significant part of it play its therapeutic properties and the fact that it can be used as a treatment for many illnesses&period; Apart from the once listed above&comma; cannabis can help those who&comma; for example&comma; suffer from Alzheimer’s or Parkinson diseases&period; Many compounds of marijuana have not gone under research yet&comma; and every few years&comma; another disease curable with marijuana is discovered&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
