What is Multiple Sclerosis, and how does it affect you?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly assaults the central nervous system. The brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves are all part of the central nervous system, which is particularly vulnerable to the effects of multiple sclerosis. Myelin, nerve fibers, and myelin-producing cells are all damaged by inflammation because of the immune system’s aberrant response. The exact reason why some people get MS is unknown, but immune system dysfunction, genetic susceptibility, and environmental factors are all suspected contributors. If you suffer from multiple sclerosis in Mississippi, you may legally use medical marijuana to treat your symptoms. To find out if cannabis can help you, go to a qualified Mississippi Medical Marijuana doctor.

Can Medical Marijuana Effectively Treat Multiple Sclerosis?
Medical marijuana has shown promise as a potential treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, though trials are still in their preliminary phases. The most deadly symptom of multiple sclerosis is a disruption in the normal communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and the endocannabinoid system, which appears to activate during nervous system assaults. According to research, endocannabinoids have many anti-inflammatory qualities that help lessen the damage caused by an attack on the nervous system.
Multiple Sclerosis and Medical Marijuana
Many people with multiple sclerosis have found relief from their symptoms and a decreased need for traditional pharmaceuticals after switching to medicinal cannabis. A new study out of UC San Diego found that medical marijuana significantly reduced spasticity in multiple sclerosis patients when compared to a placebo. Studies have shown that patients with multiple sclerosis who use medical marijuana experience a 77% decrease in their opioid prescription needs. There has been a decrease in the use of sleep and anti-anxiety drugs. Medical marijuana shows great promise as an effective treatment for multiple sclerosis.
