Illnesses

The use of cannabis as medicine dates back to the world’s oldest pharamcopoeia (book of medicine), the Shen Nung, compiled in 1 A.D. in China. The ancient text recommends marijuana for more than 100 ailments, including gout, rheumatism, malaria, and absentmindedness. Today, cannabis is used all around the world to help alleviate a number of illnesses. We just launched, but we’ll be updating this page often with new ailments.

Alzheimer’s Disease - Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disorder that causes problems with memory, cognition, and behavior. Cannabis has been shown to slow the progression of the disease, as well as provide therapeutic value in sufferers. Additionally, there may be preventative qualities.

Anxiety - Millions of Americans suffer from anxiety, which is the fear and in many cases irrational fear of everyday events. Studies suggest that cannabis can help the brain sort out which fears are rational and which are irrational, as well as helping those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Multiple Sclerosis - Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the Central Nervous System that can lead to chronic pain, stiffness of the muscles, and in some cases uncontrollable spasms. Cannabis has shown to help alleviate pain and new studies suggest it could counteract the disease.
