Medicine help: whats medical marijuana used to sure? - Help.com

it isnt supposed to be a cure, it is a painkiller. it is only used to “cure” mental conditions such as depression

and glaucoma, ms, and possibly cancer. there is no evidence for cancer though.

it cures nothing… it relieves symptoms, for cancer patients it helps to reduce nausea and stimulate appetite - this is the major use of medical marijuana. It is also used for glaucoma patients, but I’m not sure of the symptom relief there.

ahhhh - “marijuana has been to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma” taken from: http://www.eyecareamerica.org/eyecare…

well it “cures” glaucoma in the only sense possible. once you lose portions your peripheral vision there is no getting it back at all. marijuana stops that from advancing. so i’d say its a cure

I have MS and smoked weed for it… as nice as it was, and it sure gave me a break from thinking.. it seemed to worsen my symptoms???
M.S is triggered buy stress so in a way weed helps relax u.. but my own trial was not sucessful. btw… shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I dont take any meds for it… I was put on a very very high dose of steriods a few times but last 2 times they didnt work.
Im better now not seeing my nerologist, carring on with life and being healthy and fit. I still get tingles in my fingers n toes and sometimes lips when Im run down or been partying too much.. Also I see a chiropractor once a week to check my back and neck.. that is often out and pushes on inflamation in my spinal cord.

I will b fine. There is an exciting new drug being trialed that not only prevents attacks but fixes the damage… If I get bad I take that when it gets to NZ.

Sad thing is for those who get it bad… there is no help from the govenment. Its an expensive illness to get.
