How Good Is Cannabis for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Over 2.3 million people around the world live with multiple sclerosis (MS). Here’s whether cannabis can help.

Canada is one of the countries with the highest numbers of MS patients. According to MS Society of Canada, 1 in every 385 Canadians lives with this condition.

As it’s one of the most debilitating conditions, living with multiple sclerosis is a real battle.

For patients who don’t respond well to conventional MS methods, cannabis treatment seems like a very reasonable choice.

What is multiple sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis (otherwise known as MS) is an unpredictable, progressive neurological autoimmune disease that gradually damages the nerves of the spinal cord and brain, along with the entire immune system.

Scientists and medical experts have been trying to solve the puzzle of MS for decades, and they still can’t say with certainty what is the exact cause of it. However, some factors have been identified as potential causes of MS.

So, what do we know about multiple sclerosis?

MS is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks myelin—a fatty substance that envelops nerve cells and fibers, allowing information exchange.

When there isn’t enough myelin, the brain finds it difficult to communicate with the rest of the body.

This myelin deficiency disease gradually deteriorates the nerve cells, and eventually damages them permanently.

What causes multiple sclerosis?

Although they still can’t say for sure, scientists think that certain genetic and environmental factors play a role in developing MS.

Let’s start with genetics. If your parents (or your siblings) have this disease, there’s a slightly higher chance (5%) that you’ll be diagnosed too.

Researchers also assume that people with MS are born with a genetic predisposition to react to some (still unidentified) environmental agents, which trigger this negative autoimmune response.

When it comes to the environmental factors, it’s been noticed that people from countries that are far from the equator tend to be diagnosed with MS much more than people from countries that are closer to it.

The logical scientific explanation for this is a deficiency in vitamin D. (1)

People who live near the equator are exposed to more sunny days and because of this they synthesize more vitamin D.

Since there isn’t much sunlight in places away from the equator, people need to ingest this vitamin through food, which is difficult to accomplish.

Also, some scientists presume that certain viral and bacterial infections can also cause or trigger MS, particularly because some viruses are known to cause inflammation and demyelination (breakdown of the myelin coating).

These are all theories. The truth is is that they still haven’t been confirmed.

What are the symptoms of MS?

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects differently. The wide range of symptoms usually affects the mind, the senses and the entire body. Some of the early signs include:

Walking, balance and coordination issues

Muscle spasms, pain, fatigue and weakness

Numbness and tingling

Problems with vision

Cognitive issues

Bladder issues

Since so little is known about the exact cause of this condition, and a cure hasn’t been found yet, treatment options are limited but they do exist.

These therapies usually include corticosteroids or plasma exchange, but they only slow down the progression of MS. However, not all patients respond to these treatments well enough, and some don’t respond at all.

Scientific research on cannabis and MS

Multiple sclerosis qualifies one for getting access to medical cannabis in some states in the US. In Canada, patients suffering from MS are eligible for becoming medical cannabis users.

Using cannabis to treat general symptoms of MS

In 2005, a group of researchers was looking into the effectiveness and long-term safety of tetrahydrocannabinol for MS. During a 15-week period, 630 patients with a stable form of MS were given THC or placebo.

At the end of the treatment, patients who were taking THC reported around twice as much relief from general symptoms than those who were given placebo. (2)

Using cannabis to treat muscle spasms caused by MS

Muscle spasticity and stiffness are one of the most prevalent issues MS patients have to deal with. Gaining muscle control with cannabis seems attainable for some patients.

A very comprehensive and systematic review of 34 studies (conducted over a 50-year period) from 2014 on cannabis and MS concluded that oral cannabis extracts are very effective in relieving muscle spasms, and possibly effective in treating other symptoms as well. (3)

Using cannabis to treat bladder issues caused by MS

In a 2010 study, MS patients were given Sativex (whole-plant formulation with 1:1 THC to CBD ratio), and placebo for 10 weeks.

Sativex had an impact on overactive bladder in patients with MS, providing evidence of improvement in symptoms associated with bladder dysfunction. (4)

Using cannabis to treat pain caused by MS

Here’s one interesting research about smoking cannabis and its effects on pain caused by MS.

30 MS patients were randomly given either a joint or an identical cigarette once a day for the

three days. After an eleven-day break, participants switched groups.

They reported that the treatment with cannabis significantly lessened pain, and was superior to placebo in symptom reduction. Naturally, the authors of this trial study point out that more research is needed. (5)

These findings show us that cannabis can’t cure MS, but it can at least provide a relief from the exhausting and persistent symptoms.

People living with MS frequently battle several accompanying conditions.

Depression, seizures, lack of appetite are all very common. These disorders are successfully treated with cannabis by themselves, with either THC or CBD, or whole-plant formulations.

Best cannabis strains for multiple sclerosis

If you would like to give cannabis a try to diminish the symptoms of MS, here are just a few to help you kick off your journey.

If you’re having trouble finding these strains, ask you local budtender for help (strains are often sold under different names), and if they don’t have it, ask for a recommendation for a similar strain.

If you live in Canada, you can use Strainblazer to find strains currently sold by ACMPR licensed producers.

Sour Diesel

A very popular sativa-dominant strain for both medical and recreational users, Sour Diesel is famous for its ability to crush pain and fatigue. It’s great for relaxing both the brain and the body, but also provides enough energy to get going through the day.

Critical Mass

One of the best-known indica strains, Critical Mass is recommended for night-time use. The reason is simple: It makes users sleepy and sluggish. According to people who use it medically, this strain works miracles when it comes to pain.

Nebula II CBD

This sativa-dominant strain with a 1:1 THC to CBD ratio is perfect for managing MS symptoms. Nebula is a good choice for daytime use: It  brings forth the focus and energy. Also, it abolishes pain, depression and fatigue.

AK-47

AK-47 is known for being a potent hybrid strain, mostly recommended for experienced users but very effective in killing pain and muscle spasms.

Strawberry Cough

A favorite among medical consumers, Strawberry Cough boost energy levels and confidence, while relieving patients from all sorts of symptoms, including pain, spasms and fatigue.

The High Priestess: Celebrating 4/20 and the Pink Moon

We made it through the Retrograde and survived the shit-show of its aftermath! Puff, puff, pass to that. We’re here, it’s officially Spring, and no one can stop us from celebrating. And on this year’s 4/20 cannabis conscious day we are blessed with a particularly auspicious energy. The day before, on 4/19 in the wee hours of the morning, we are greeted with a Full Pink Moon; except this time it’s in air sign Libra…again. We had our last Full Moon in Libra on March 20th, and now we’re closing this cycle of romance, connection and harmony with another moon in the same sign.

What better way to honor and celebrate 4/20 than with a heart inspired by love, justice, and the need to share some weed? Libra after all, is ruled over by Venus; the planet of love, sexuality, beauty, and justice. This is all about feeling good and enjoying, which is what this holiday is all about.

And if you’re Jewish and celebrating Passover, which also happens to fall on 4/20, then you can totally bring a joint to your Seder, because weed is Kosher for Passover. Though it’s stated there must be a medical reason for working with cannabis, one could argue we could all use a prescription to relax.

Regardless of what you believe or how you celebrate, you can believe and celebrate the Moon and her cycles. Full Moons are the peak of the Moon’s journey through waxing and waning and it’s at this point in her 28-day cycle that Lady Luna is at her brightest. This is a time when we can manifest and when our intuition is on high; this is when the moon’s light reflects our ability to stand in our fullest power.

Full Moons can feel like we’re plugged into an electrical socket of the divine, when the energies in our bodies are buzzing and begging for a release. In Libra this can feel like romance, like we’re being swept off our feet into a parallel universe of smoke and mirrors. This air sign is sensual, they’re pleasure driven and they’re free spirits. Embrace this by taking time to reconnect with what brings you pleasure, with what feels good in your body. Libra invites us to embody our magick, to claim our fullest selves without shame and it is through this Pink Moon that we’re invited to return to every part of our heart.

And it’s on 4/20 that the Sun enters Taurus; the sensual, hedonist of the Zodiac, and the other sign, besides Libra, ruled by Venus. While Aries claims intensity and full throttle, Taurus is all about slowing down, enjoying the ride, indulging the senses, and being overwhelmed with pleasure. If there’s a time to smoke a fat blunt in silk pajamas and gold jewelry, it’s during this Earths sign-ruled season. The Pink Full Moon gets us in our hearts, and Taurus season and 4/20 get us in our body. We’re ready to enjoy!

The history of 4/20 is rooted in the celebration and excitement of getting to smoke some weed, which is a big-ass Taurus vibe. We can embrace this by creating an environment that fosters our appreciation for beautiful things and experiences. Do this by working with cannabis in a space that makes you feel luxurious, fabulous, and capable. Think adornment, wonderful smells and textures, and alluring lights. Let your senses guide you in creating a true palace of carnal desires (if that’s your thing of course) and get as creative as you’d like.

You can also read on for a few more hands on ways to work with this energy.

Alexandra Herstik

What to Smoke with Your Flower: Damiana

Damiana is a powerful aphrodisiac that is often used in oil blends, smoking mixtures and in food and drinks. This herb can be used to help us tap into this intense and sexual power of Aries as well as the connected energy of the Full Moon in Libra. Found in Central and South America, Mexico and the American Southwest, Damiana is my pick for this Full Moon because it’s ruled over by the same planet as Aries is: Mars. If you wanna share a jay with your crush, roll some of this in there to give that chemistry the extra boost. This is sensuality and heat, and my choice for blending with your flower for this moon phase. Just don’t forget to buy it organic!

To Raise this Energy: Breath of Fire

Although we move into Taurus season on 4/20, many of us are still in the intensity and flames of Aries season. Earth-ruled Taurus season can feel slow and too rooted after the expansive energy of the fire sign season before it. So, if you need some heat or if you need help clearing away some of the baggage that Spring has brought you, you can work with the Breath of Fire. This breath helps us clear and release anxieties, tensions and worries, and has the powerful cleansing effect of the element of fire.

To do this breath you inhale through your nose, filling your belly with air. Then you forcefully exhale sharply from your nose. This breath is quick and fast, and you do this as many times as you can in one exhale, before taking a big inhale and starting again. Try doing this for three to five breaths if you can.

This is not a breath I recommend doing while you smoke, though you could do it after taking a hit of something. And of course you can do this stoned on an edible, chilling on some CBD or completely sober. Create a ritual out of this if you wish, setting an intention before you begin. You may also choose to release something on this Full Moon cycle as it comes to a close, focusing on this as you exhale. Allow this breath to help release old fears, patterns, and worries and return to it whenever you need.

To Celebrate: Bring an Offering of Weed to Your Crush or the Seder

Why is there something so romantic about sharing weed with someone you like or care about? If you want a ritual to connect to the sensual energy of Venus, share some weed with your crush. Be present with them and let this be an offering of connection. Pass the joint or the bong or the bowl. Let the cannabis guide you deeper into your senses. Or if you’re lucky enough to go to a Seder that is 4/20 friendly, bring a joint and celebrate survival. Pass it outside as the kids search for the afikomen. L’chaim!

On this Full Moon and 4/20, may we be led back into the beauty of what makes us feel pleasure. May we return to our bodies. May Mary Jane guide the way in us connecting to our truest selves as fully as possible. This may feel overwhelming and intense, but I urge you to trust in the process and unfolding. Give into pleasure. Say YES and mean it. And enjoy all the delicious gifts this life is offering.

CBD Oil vs. Hemp Oil: Knowing the Difference Between these Healthy Alternatives for Healing

  Healthy alternatives and options are in-demand nowadays, most especially those products made from the hemp plant: the CBD oil and the hemp oil. People are becoming more comfortable using both products because of their natural ingredients.

These substances contain 0-0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. THC is a cannabinoid that gives the “kick” or psychoactive reaction to its user.  

Although popular, some are still unaware that these oils are actually different from one another. Knowing the difference can help the reader decide whether he needs CBD oil or hemp oil.

This article aims to provide a simple breakdown of the difference between the both.

CBD Oil vs Hemp Oil

Composition

CBD oil is an extract from the whole hemp plant, including flowers. It contains high amount of cannabidiol (CBD), a vital substance that helps the body in many ways.

On the other hand, hemp oil is extracted from the hemp seeds. It is also popularly known as hemp seed oil. Unlike CBD, this oil contains a small amount of CBD.

Use

Aside from composition, CBD oil and hemp oil are also different in terms of benefits.

CBD oil is best known to help alleviate pain and inflammation. It is also used for depression, anxieties, and other behavioral issues that affect the human’s emotions.

Further studies are being conducted to strengthen the “magic” of CBD oil. A research concluded that CBD oil can be used as an “assistant” for cancer treatments such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The product is so effective that manufacturers even sell CBD oil for pets.

Consequently, hemp oil serves as a supplement for one’s diet. It may not be used for frying but it can be mixed in salad dressings, dips, pesto, and smoothies.

Some people also use hemp seed oil to have healthy skin. When taken orally, this oil reduces itchiness and dryness. Some beauty products today include hemp oil for their clients to achieve glowing skin naturally.

Pricing for these healthy alternatives

Hemp oil is affordable but is more pricey than regular cooking oils. Meanwhile, CBD oil is more expensive than the hemp seed oil since CBD oil is extracted from the whole plant itself.

Also, most manufacturers sell CBD oil online, while hemp oil can be found in some typical stores. This is because there are some states that limit the production and retailing of CBD oil.

Final Thoughts

Customers have to understand the difference between CBD oil and hemp oil for them to know what they actually need. It is easier for them to decide which would actually help their condition at the moment.

Both products are helpful to humans to live a healthy lifestyle. Hemp oil can be used for cooking nutritious recipes and maintaining the skin. On the other hand, CBD oil is used for pain and anxiety treatment, and sleeping disorders.

Nonetheless, both oils are made from natural ingredients without the risk of getting high. The products are tested to ensure quality.

Overall, people can use CBD oil and hemp oil depending on the end result they want to achieve.
