Medical Cannabis reduces spasticity for me. CBD (Cannabidiol)) has a far more beneficial effect than THC.

Using plants instead of pills makes sense to me.

Nature's not always your friend. Tetrodotoxin from puffer fish is just one example. Calyculin, a toxin from a marine sponge that acts as a potent phophatase inhibitor and mutagen, is another. Then there's domoic acid from a phytoplankton that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (lets not forget saxitoxin which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning) and so on...
