Mood Stabilization

Cannabis is also known for its mood-stabilizing qualities, and when taken in low doses it can help to reduce stress and anxiety.

Cancer-prevention Properties

Research has increasingly begun to show that THC and CBD are effective in slowing the growth of tumors associated with brain cancer, and may actually help to prevent cancer from spreading in the body.

Glaucoma Relief

One of the most common reasons for medicinal cannabis to be prescribed is for the treatment and prevention of eye disease glaucoma, which causes an uncomfortable amount of pressure on the eyeball. Cannabis helps to decrease the pressure and relieve glaucoma symptoms for short periods of time.

Bowel Disease Treatment

Cannabis may help to treat some inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis by strengthening the gut walls and decreasing the permeability of the intestines.
