Alleviate Anxiety<\/b><\/h3>
Anxiety is\u00a0perhaps the\u00a0most common\u00a0affliction\u00a0that people have used CBD for, and a\u00a0preclinical study<\/a> found that CBD could be effective in treating generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. – Johnson & Wales University<\/em><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Migraine Relief<\/b><\/h3>
Our study reviewed the clinical response, dosing, and side effects of marijuana in migraine management. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a literature search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, and nine studies were included in the systematic review. The studies demonstrated that medical marijuana has a significant clinical response by reducing the length and frequency of migraines. No severe adverse effects were noted. \u00a0NIH.gov<\/a><\/em><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Decades of research\u00a0have gone into using CBD to treat epilepsy and other seizure syndromes, and a\u00a0recent study<\/a>\u00a0showed it can have positive effects in reducing symptoms and seizure frequency. – Johnson & Wales University<\/a><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lower Blood Pressure<\/b><\/h3>

A\u00a0study conducted by JCI Insight\u00a0in 2017<\/a> found that CBD lowered the blood pressure of human participants. It reduced their resting blood pressure as well as their blood pressure after stress tests including mental arithmetic, isometric exercise, and the cold pressor test. – Johnson & Wales University<\/em><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Prevent Relapse of Drug \/ Alcohol Addiction<\/b><\/h3>

A\u00a02018\u00a0study<\/a> discovered that CBD can be useful in helping people who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction. A preclinical trial with lab rats determined that CBD reduced the stress-induced cravings, anxiety and lack of impulse control that often cause people to relapse. – Johnson & Wales University<\/a><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Great GI Disorders<\/b><\/h3>

A\u00a0recent study<\/a> found that CBD and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids can effectively be used to prevent and treat GI disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis and more.

Not only has CBD been used to help\u00a0alleviate the effects of chemotherapy<\/a>, but studies have also found it can prevent cell growth and induce cell death in\u00a0cervical cancer cell lines<\/a>\u00a0and it has\u00a0numerous\u00a0anti-cancer effects<\/a> that can help prevent a variety of cancers, treat tumors, and benefit the immune system. – Johnson & Wales University<\/em><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Chronic Pain Relief<\/b><\/h3>

Some evidence suggests that cannabis may relieve pain. There is moderate evidence that strains of cannabis with high CBD levels help people with trouble sleeping due to chronic pain.<\/p>

Cannabis might also calm pain and stiff, tight muscles in people with MS, which affects the brain and spinal cord. Research has found that people often use strains of cannabis with THC to ease nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy. \u00a0– Health.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Safer Than Opioids<\/b><\/h3>

Research has found that cannabis might help people recover from opioid addiction. A study published in 2016 noted 1,826 fewer daily doses of painkillers prescribed per year, on average, in states where the medical use of cannabis was legal compared to states where it was not.<\/p>

The researchers argue that more studies are urgently needed. Still, human trials have been limited because of the classification of cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug. \u00a0– Health.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Clearly, health authorities have determined that cannabis offers treatment for many common chronic health disorders.<\/p>

In an article published on 5\/19\/2024 by The Hill<\/a>, we see the Federal Government has proposed rescheduling cannabis from a Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 drug.<\/p>

What does this mean?<\/p>

What the Schedule 3 reclassification does indicate, is that the Federal Government recognizes the medicinal use of cannabis while acknowledging that it has less potential abuse than other dangerous drugs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
