When the State of Oregon first legalized Medical Marijuana I disbelieved and was astonished at the diverse medical conditions that State DHS said were acceptable conditions for a permit to use: Cancer, Glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, Cachexia/Anorexia, Severe pain, Severe nausea, Seizures and Muscle spasms.
There was NO medicine effective for all these. I deduced that officials at the DHS were into the evidence lockers someplace and found some GOOD stuff.
I found out soon after I started seeing patients for marijuana permits that the DHS was far too modest about this surprisingly effective medicine. As I continued to see more than 4000 patients I was truly amazed at the diversity of diseases for which marijuana was helpful and more so than standard medicine.
Recently a long-distance patient from Australia sent me a list of the diseases for which marijuana was useful with the website addresses of the references. Here is Granny Storm Crow’s list:
Anti-Anguish,
Addiction Treatment,
Alcoholism Treatment,
ALS,
Alzheimer’s,
Anti-Bacteriacidal,
Anti-Inflammatory,
Anti-Oxidant/Neuroprotectant,
Anxiolytic,
Appetite Stimulant,
Anti-Arthritis,
Anti-Asthma,
Anti-Atherosclerosis,
Anti-Autism,
Anti-Psychotic,
Anti-Hypertensive,
Anti-Cancer,
Anti-Leukemic,
Anti-Hunningtons,
Anti-Nauseant,
Anti-Morning Sickness,
Anti-Cough,
Anti-COPD,
Anti-Crohns/Colitis,
Anti-Depressant,
Anti-Dystonia,
Anti-Epileptic,
Anti-Febril,
Anti-Fibromyalgia,
Anti-Glaucoma,
Anti-Heart Disease, /
ADD/ADHDHepatitis Treatment,
Anti-Herpetic,
Anti-HIV/AIDS,
Anti-Lupus,
Anti-Mad Cow Disease,
Anti-Migraine,
Anti-Multiple Sclerosis,
Anti-MRSA,
Cannabis Neurogenisis,
Anti-Neuropathic Pain,
Neuroprotectant,
Anti-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,
Anti-Osteoporesis,
Strong Analgesic,
Anti-Spastic,
Anti-Parkinsonism,
Anti-PTSD,
Anti-Prion Toxicity,
Anti-Pruritis,
Anti-Schizophrenic,
Anti-Psychotic,
Sedative/Hypnotic,
Anti-Spastic – Spinal Cord Injury,
Anti-Stroke/Cerebroprotective,
Anti-Tourettes,
and Anti-Tobacco – Protectant. div
Even I consider this list to be incomplete.
I can see a whole bunch of people jumping up and down and tearing at their hair about this list. Please understand, I did not make this stuff up and as a Pharmacologist/Toxicologist/Physician I scarcely believe some of it as I was incredulous about the first nine conditions stated by The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS).
For “Doubting Thomases” don’t bitch at me. Somebody – Granny Storm Crow – must have spent hundreds of hours putting this list together. There are about 10,000 medical articles about cannabis/marijuana. If you have a couple of years to spare start reading them. ALL HAIL GRANNY STORM CROW!
