Medical Marijuana & Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerves, disrupting communication between the brain and body. This can cause muscle spasticity, painful spasms, nerve pain, and impaired mobility.

Medical marijuana is one of the best-documented options for easing the muscle spasticity and spasms associated with MS. Cannabinoids act on receptors involved in muscle control and pain signaling, and many patients report meaningful relief with fewer side effects than some conventional medications.

A certified physician can help tailor a THC-to-CBD balance suited to each patient’s symptoms and stage of the disease.
