Muscle Spasms Colorado medical marijuana patients have discovered many of the drug’s benefits in relation to treatment for muscle spasms.

Marijuana is an effective, natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs and provides bothimmediate and longlastingresults.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is a disease that attacks the central nervous system, causing severe pain, tremors, and loss of many functions. MS attacks nearly 350,000 people in the U.S. alone, and for patients suffering from MS in Colorado, marijuana can provide a great deal of symptom relief. While medical marijuana cannot relieve symptoms completely, it can be highly effective in improving eyesight, appetite, speech and balance. Medical marijuana also helps reduce chronic pain, tremors and muscle spasms, calming the nervous system and offering some patients the ability to walk unassisted by walkers or wheelchairs.
Severe Nausea Severe nausea can often be a side effect of another illness, and is one that can lead a patient toward malnourishment and exhaustion. Patients undergoing treatment for other illnesses such as cancer or Leukemia who are required to be treated with chemotherapy will often experience continued nausea to the point of being unable to ingest anything. Colorado medical marijuana patients have found that using the drug as part of a prescribed regimen greatly reduces symptoms of nausea and often stimulates the appetite. Nausea can be caused by a number of conditions, and the inhaled use of medical marijuana has been shown to be a more effective treatment than traditional medicines which in some cases patients may not be able to keep down.
Cancer One of the most common side effects in cancer patients tends to be nausea as a result of chemotherapy treatment, and for many patients in Colorado, medical marijuana use is an effective tool in reducing bouts of severe nausea. For those patients who are unable to keep medication down, the inhalation of the cannabinoid drug reverses the nausea effects caused by chemotherapy treatment, as well as easing anxiety and pain related to treatment. Medical marijuana has also been found to stimulate appetite, which is effective for cancer patients who, due to nausea, have been unable to eat and are experiencing treatment-related weight loss.

Although seizures can also be caused by an injury to the brain or through genetic inheritance, epilepsy related seizures generally have no known cause. Colorado medical marijuana patients may be able to control seizures through the use of the drug with fewer or no side effects generally experienced by the use of traditional medicine. Because marijuana produces a calming effect on the body, the nervous system is less likely to cause seizures. Patients who use medical marijuana for epileptic seizures report fewer instances of seizures with regular use..
Glaucoma Glaucoma is a condition that is caused by increased eye pressure, resulting in damage to the optic nerve and can cause eventual blindness. For glaucoma patients in Colorado, marijuana use may be an effective alternative to surgery. Medical marijuana use reduces pressure immediately in the eyes and the effects can last up to four or five hours. While medical marijuana will have varying degrees of effect in patients with glaucoma, adding marijuana to a treatment regimen may allow patients a secondary source of relief and perhaps eliminate theneed for surgery.
