(Newswire.net — March 12, 2019) — As studies are proving more and more the health benefits of cannabis, people across the US are turning to this once frowned upon solution to help with common health issues as an alternative to clinical medical treatments.
Governments in many countries are recognising the progress in this area and seeking to regulate the plant, instead of the previous approach to treat it as a criminal act. This is opening up these health benefits to more and more people, who can grow and consume what they need without risking more dangerous methods to get help. With access to the grow shop online, more and more people are able to get relief from their ailments.
Cannabis is far more accessible now.
Countries like the Netherlands have been leading the way in this for many years, separating cannabis use and laws relating to it, from those laws governing other narcotic substances. Coffeeshops in Amsterdam are well known throughout the world. Now other governments are starting to follow suit.
Many people are choosing to grow their own at home, and in many places this no longer has a criminal penalty attached. GrowBarato for example allows users to purchase everything they need online for delivery, and get their own plants growing relatively quickly and easily.
This means that users aren’t reliant on a medical prescriptions, or on obtaining it from questionable sellers.
Clinical studies show the plant is excellent for pain management.
Pain management is just one of the reasons why americans are looking to cannabis for improving their health and wellbeing. For example, usage can seriously reduce the inflammation caused by arthritis by relaxing the body, and therefore reduce the pain and help users sleep better.
Because it is so good at relieving and reducing muscle spasms, it is also showing promising results for sufferers of Crohn’s disease, IBS, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s. The relaxant capabilities are quite astounding.
We are only just scratching the surface of how Cannabis can help people.
One area starting to see some promising results is in the treatment of cancer. Patients using marijuana are shown to have a slower growth rate in the cancerous cells. In some cases it has stopped growth altogether. Cannabis can turn off a particular gene that causes cancerous growth, and also reduce the nausea and pain experienced when undergoing chemotherapy treatment – which is well known to be very harsh on the body, with some quite horrible side effects.
It also stimulates the appetite, which can be so important in the very ill in order to keep their strength up and reduce the level of weight loss.
Cannabis can also have some very positive effects on the human brain. Studies are being conducted into how it can help those suffering with Alzheimer’s, by slowing the creation of amyloid plaque that is so damaging to brain function.
It is also being tested on stroke victims to see if it can reduce the damage, and in case of brain damage by trauma it is looking like it can act as a protective agent, reducing swelling more quickly. It can also be used in the treatment of epilepsy, PTSD and other diseases of the brain.
Every day new applications in the field of biology and medicine are being discovered for this quite amazing plant. Being able to grow it at home for personal use is also saving people thousands in medical costs, and for many it is the only way to get relief from symptoms. Of course there is still much more to learn, but with more research in time we will see even more applications for this wonderdrug.
Especially if more and more countries decriminalize the use of it for personal reasons, and begin to monitor and regulate the production and consumption.
