Cannabis relieves symptoms of multiple sclerosis
Cannabis relieves the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. That's what a research from the University of Plymouth has shown. In this research, 635 patients participated and two treatments were used, both illegal, a hemp extract with placebo effect and the active compound of hemp tetrahydrocanabinol (THC). In 15 weeks, 60% of patients receiving THC and 46% of the placebos perceived that the symptoms had decreased significantly.
With these results, the British Association of Multiple Sclerosis has called for the legalization of compounds based on hemp. Around the world there are about 2.5 million patients with multiple sclerosis, but there is no treatment based on hemp to combat the disease and protected by law. However, there are other countries that support the use of hemp to alleviate diseases. Therefore, such research may serve to legalize its use in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
