Disclaimer: It is important to note that consulting with your doctor/physician should take precedence and come first when deciding upon treating any ailment or disease. Additionally, research into cannabis, while the field is indeed growing, is still limited and the need for clinical trials and experiments is a topic that society needs to collectively address. Proper and effective dosing, for example, is a facet of medical marijuana that has been difficult to establish due to restrictions our governments have in place.The potential for cannabis’ ability to save lives is one that cannot be overlooked, but unfortunately still needs to be intensively studied. 

The following is a collection of news articles, research literature, peer reviewed medical studies, resources, documentaries, interviews, and lecture clippings discussing cannabis as a medicine for treating Multiple Sclerosis.

That last video was included to illustrate how ignorance of true facts about cannabis and prohibition can hurt innocent individuals.

It is important to remember that only 20 states in America have allowed for medical marijuana; 2 have legalized it for recreational use at the time of this writing. This list of countries where cannabis is legal further illustrates that it is still criminalized throughout most of the world. Despite the growing number of medical studies (that have been going on since the 1960s), legalization and cultural acceptance of the most beneficial natural substance known to man – cannabis is slow and is often faced with ridiculous political obstacles.

If the material on this site, and the research that you can find on your own through simple google searches are not enough to convince you of the medical efficacies and need of marijuana throughout the world, then you cannot be helped and you have consigned yourself to continuing in believing a lie.

Please understand that there are countless individuals out there, you possibly included, that could seriously benefit from the consumption of cannabis – you don’t even have to smoke it or get high from it! It is a far better medicine than prescription medications, and far safer than even over the counter medicines.

As always, please like, leave a comment, share, but most importantly, spread the word and discuss cannabis with your friends and family. Legalization, whether full or even just medical, is something that can’t come sooner, but needs to be realized worldwide. Humanity does itself a grave disservice by not taking advantage of the cannabis plant.
