Medicinal cannabis has been proven to help to reduce inflammation and the neuropathic pain as a result of interaction with CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptor.

Studies have long shown that people who took cannabis extracts in clinical trials tended to need less pain medicine.

More recently, scientists reported that THC and other cannabinoids such as CBD slow growth and/or cause death in certain types of cancer cells growing in lab dishes.

MS is a disease that attacks your brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The cannabis plant has dozens of chemicals that can affect your mind and body.

An influential national group of scientific institutions concluded that cannabis is proven or highly likely to help ease stiffness and muscle spasms that are common with MS, at least as measured by self-reported symptoms.

Cannabis has a variety of potential medicinal uses, from boosting appetite to reducing nausea and anxiety. In cancer patients, cannabis may help ease the pain associated with chemotherapy while simultaneously increasing appetite (a serious side effect of chemotherapy being nausea).

It may decrease your levels of peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), thus increasing your levels of ghrelin, thus increasing your appetite.

It activates the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway, thus increasing your levels of ghrelin, thus increasing your appetite.

It activates a subset of neurons called proopiomelanocortin neurons (POMCs). These neurons can suppress hunger (primary pathway) and/or increase appetite (secondary pathway), to various degrees.
