MEDICAL MARIJUANA HELPS FLORIDA’S SUFFERING PATIENTS
WHAT ARE SEVERE MUSCLE SPASMS?
Muscle spasms can occur in muscle groups throughout the whole body. Some can be more painful than others, and they can occur because of a variety of reasons. The less acute ones are often caused by muscle fatigue, dehydration, or lack of electrolytes. Severe muscle spasms are an involuntary act of contraction. Normally, a muscle relaxes and contacts due to nerve signals sent by the brain. When a spasm occurs, this routine is interrupted. In some people, spasms occur because of different impairments, such as cerebral palsy, spinal injuries, asthma, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. They can last for a few seconds up to a few hours. For less severe spasms, heat therapy, consuming electrolytes, and using muscle relaxants are options of relief. For those who experience severe muscle spasms and have not found adequate relief, there is an another option: medical marijuana.
HOW CAN MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROVIDE RELIEF?
Marijuana has been providing sufferers with relief for decades. It is rumored that, in the 19th Century, Queen Victoria was even supplied cannabis to relieve her menstrual cramps! Medical marijuana relaxes the muscles and offers pain relief. Inflammation in the body is reduced by the THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol), which act as neuroprotective antioxidants. The high CBD and low THC ensures that the psychotic effects of normal cannabis are reduced.
