Question
godshgian
States 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 also important 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.
