Cancer

Marijuana may help alleviate pain associated with cancer and its treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Epilepsy

Studies have found that cannabis may help reduce the frequency of seizures in some patients with epilepsy, particularly those with certain types of epilepsy, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

THC may help reduce anxiety and fear in patients with PTSD. This may be due to the effects of THC on the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating mood and anxiety.

Glaucoma

Marijuana or its active compounds, such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), may help reduce IOP in some patients with glaucoma.

Insomnia

THC may help improve sleep in some patients. THC has sedative effects that can promote relaxation and help individuals fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Arthritis

Both THC and CBD may help reduce inflammation in some patients, which can help alleviate pain associated with arthritis.

Crohn's

CBD and THC may help reduce inflammation in the gut, which can alleviate symptoms of Crohn's disease.

Diverticulitis

Marijuana's anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce inflammation in the gut, which is a key factor in the development and progression of diverticulitis.

Dementia

Marijuana use may help reduce agitation and aggression in patients with dementia, potentially due to the calming and relaxing effects of THC. Some studies have suggested that CBD may have neuroprotective effects, potentially slowing the progression of dementia.

Degenerative Disc

Marijuana may help alleviate chronic pain associated with DDD. THC has sedative effects that can promote relaxation and help individuals experience less pain. Additionally, CBD can interact with receptors in the brain that regulate pain, potentially leading to reduced feelings of pain.

Fibromyalgia

Many patients with fibromyalgia experience sleep disturbances, and marijuana use has been associated with improved sleep quality. THC may help promote sleep by reducing the time it takes to fall asleep and increasing the amount of time spent in deep sleep.

Lyme Disease 

Joint pain is a common symptom of Lyme disease, and THC may help alleviate pain by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and reducing the perception of pain. CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties that could help reduce inflammation and swelling in the joints, which are common symptoms of Lyme disease.

IBS

CBD and THC may have muscle relaxant properties that could help alleviate cramping and spasticity in the gut, which are common symptoms of IBS. Additionally, marijuana use has been associated with increased bowel movements and improved overall bowel function.

Tremors

THC may help relax the muscles and reduce the severity of tremors by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and nervous system. CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties that could help reduce inflammation in the nervous system, which is thought to be a contributing factor to the development of tremors.

Migraine

THC may have antiemetic properties that could help alleviate nausea and vomiting, which are common symptoms of migraines. CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties that could help reduce inflammation in the brain, which is thought to be a contributing factor to the development of migraines.

Ulcerative Colitis

Patients with UC may experience a loss of appetite due to symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea. THC may have appetite-stimulating effects that could help improve appetite in these patients. CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties that could help reduce inflammation in the gut, which is thought to be a contributing factor to the development of UC.

Spinal Stenosis

THC and CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties that could help reduce inflammation in the spinal cord and nerves, which is thought to be a contributing factor to the development of spinal stenosis.

Parkinson's

THC may help reduce tremors in some Parkinson's disease patients. Also may help patients reduce stiffness and pain associated with Parkinson's disease.

THC may help reduce muscle spasms in some MS patients. Marijuana also may help improve bladder function in some MS patients.

Anxiety

Cannabis may help reduce anxiety in some patients. Cannabis can interact with receptors in the brain that regulate mood and anxiety, potentially leading to reduced feelings of anxiety and stress.

HIV

HIV patients may experience chronic pain, such as neuropathic pain, which can be difficult to manage. Marijuana may help alleviate pain associated with HIV.

Endometriosis

One of the most common symptoms of endometriosis is pain, which can be chronic and severe. THC may help alleviate pain by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and reducing the perception of pain. CBD may also have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that could help alleviate symptoms.

Depression

THC may produce a "euphoric" feeling that can improve mood and reduce anxiety, while CBD may have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects that can reduce symptoms of depression.

Chronic Pain

CBD may have anti-inflammatory properties that could help reduce inflammation in the body, which is thought to be a contributing factor to chronic pain. THC may help reduce pain by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and nervous system, leading to decreased pain perception.

Neuropathy

Patients with neuropathy may experience difficulty sleeping due to pain, anxiety, or other symptoms. THC may have sedative effects that could help improve sleep quality and duration. THC may help alleviate neuropathic pain by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and reducing the perception of pain.
