Slowing MS progression with cannabinoids

Post by MSUK »

A $1.5 million National Institutes of Health grant will help Temple University researchers study more effective ways to treat multiple sclerosis (MS).

The research uses synthetic (man-made) cannabinoids based on chemicals obtained from the marijuana plant.

who suffers from MS and lives in Lima, Ohio, says this is a new angle she's never heard of before. "I mean, we've all heard of Montel Williams and others using medical marijuana for pain, but I never thought there was more to it than that..........."

Why feel guilty? it's like, the one drug in the world that doesn't kill people.
THC has tumor fighting properties too.

Don't even think about feeling guilty Daisy3, let him try it and see if it helps at all. It seems with any drug and MS the only way to know is try it for yourself.
Had ms for 28 yrs,
8.5 EDSS
SPMS, 54 yrs old
Taking it day by day

Hi, I'm a newbie here, please disregard my preveious post....
First off, I'm a vet with 16 years of CP-MS.
I had used pot to self-medicate for 3 years 24-7 for 3 years, it does have it's side effects. I landed in hospital in the pscho-ward twice with med problems. I have since found other drugs to help me with my pain mngt.
