5 Popular Uses for Medical Marijuana

As more and more states legalize marijuana, it appears that the popularity of alternative medicine is on the rise. In San Francisco alone, people turn to not only medicinal marijuana but also aromatherapy, crystal therapy, acupuncture and more to reduce pain, eliminate anxiety and fight the effects of aging. Medical marijuana is used in a host of situations, with the following five uses being among the most popular.

1. Reduce Nausea and Vomiting

Cannabis works in the body to dull the senses. When taken orally in pill form, it can reduce or eliminate nausea and/or vomiting associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients. In fact, studies show that medical marijuana actually works better than most FDA-approved medications given for this purpose.

2. Stimulate Appetite

For cancer and HIV-infected individuals, taking medical marijuana helps to increase appetite, which in turn stops weight loss.

3. Reduce Muscle Tension and Spasm

When medical marijuana with high THC levels is given to MS patients, it helps relax muscles and reduce spasms and tremors significantly. A liquid form of the drug containing THC and cannabidiol seems to be the most effective for this purpose.

4. Pain Reduction

People suffering from chronic pain associated with such ailments as MS, HIV, alcoholism, spinal injury, amputation, etc. find significant relief of their pain after using medical marijuana.

5. Trouble Sleeping

In addition to providing pain relief, people who smoke marijuana tend to have less anxiety and fewer instances of sleep problems such as insomnia. Furthermore, people who use marijuana report improved mood and overall well-being in general.
