Hi. I’m suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). For several years now. I have been speaking to my doctor ablout talking cannabis to help with my MS but my doctor is kind of old school and doesn’t really know about it nor does he kind of believe in it. Just wondering if it can help and is there a particular strain that can be used?

Yes. Marijuana has been shown to help with the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It can reduce spasms, improve movement and reduce pain. The type of strain to be used depends on the actual symptoms you experience. Strains such as Indica and Sativa may be quite effective. Remember: Medical Marijuana is not legal everywhere and you should always consult your Doctor before opting for this kind of treatment. Marijuana in pill form is better and will allow to control dosage.
