Medical Marijuana Relieves Pain

In a recently made study the proof of the pain-reliefing features of cannabis were strengthened. In the study made by the University of California at Davis, U.S., the use of medical marijuana resulted in a considerable relief of pain caused by damage to nerves.

38 patients experiencing neuropathic pain from diabetes, spinal injury, multiple sclerosis and other causes were given marijuana cigarettes of three different strengths: Zero percent THC (placebo), 3.5 percent THC or 7 percent THC. In each session, patients took the same number of puffs, following a standardized procedure to ensure uniformity of the dose received at each strength.

The results were positive. Both of the cannabis doses reduced pain significantly, the amount of psychoactive effects being “minimal and well-tolerated”. The recent researches are getting more and more people to back up the law reforms conserning medical marijuana use.
