Are all marijuana plants medicinal? As Sensi Seeds is not a medical agency or practitioner, we cannot give any kind of medical advice other than to consult our registered healthcare professional.

This article about the potential benefits of medicinal cannabis might be useful for you to show your healthcare provider if they are not familiar with it. This are our pages on medicinal cannabis and medicinal cannabis strains , which you might also find interesting. My parents are pastors, so as you may imagine we have discussed about the use of this plant. Thank you for your comment and for sharing your story with us.

I am very glad to hear that cannabis helps you, and your outlook on life is truly inspiring. Much love to you too! Everyone seem to have different experiences. There are people that are doing excellent on medication and functioning normal. Then there are people that seem to get all the side effects of the medicine, depression, Pherifiral Neuropathy, permanently fatigue, headaches, mussle dystrophy etc.

I have been one of those unlucky ones. I have also become Diabetic Type1 5 years ago. I also suffer from severe Lower Back Pain for which I use to take pain medication that is bad for your gut and just alround bad for one. A year ago I decided to experiment with Cannabis Oil for the pain. With my last routine blood tests after being on the Cannabis Oil for a year, my CD4 count was , were as before it would never rise above I am convinced it is as a result of the Oil.

It is my decisions to do the trial and am quite exited about it. Why am I doing this? Because my quality of life has become so poor, and I am hopeful that without all the toxic medicine my quality will improve. I will keep a Journal to track my experiences. I got my diagnosis of being HIV positive and I thought it was going to ruin my life. Regardless, the VA hospital wants to prescribe me painkillers and nerve medications to take round the clock that make me feel like a zombie and a junkie.

What I have found is that medical cannabis has alleviated my symptoms of nerve pain, chronic pain and inflammation, increases my appetite and eases my nausea, and as well I firmly believe it has been a contributing factor at helping to keep my viral load at undetectable levels.

The reason I can say this with a relative degree of certainty is that at one point my PCP made me choose between opiates or Marijuana and I thought I needed opiates more and so I chose them and my next blood test showed for the first time since being on Antiretroviral Therapy and not on Marijuana a detectable viral load.

Granted it was very low only Can anyone explain that to me? I fight it every day. Thank you for reading my post. I welcome all comments or questions. Hi, Ryan. Not everybody has that kind of privilege. I hope you are healthy and safe wherever you are. I shared this great article and discussions with my friends hoping that it will inspire more people to fight the disease. My viral load is still undetectable and my wife recently tested Negative again.

Marijuana has helped me get my life back and has helped me maintain a healthy weight by stimulating my appetite. I would hate to be the person that runs this website and have it proven someone dies because they took the advice off of here. Yes Cannabis is great for all kinds of patients wanting to relive themselves of pain, depression, inflammation and on and on and on but it is no wonder drug like some here think it is.

One guy on here said he was depressed but then smoked some cannabis and then felt great and then said he did not need meds?? Yeah you feel great because the drug makes you feel great but that does not mean your health has improved from the HIV. People think that because they feel fine that they are healthy but in the meantime they are losing the battle inside their bodies to the vicious HIV virus.

Nowhere in the article is it recommended, or even suggested, that people should stop taking or reduce their medication.

It would be irresponsible of us to send any such signals, and as an authoritative site on cannabis, we are always careful to stress that we are not a medical practice and cannot give any kind of medical advice.

Cannabis has had a long, demonizing and even racist history in the United States. However, throughout the country, laws are changing to legalize the sale and use of cannabis also known as marijuana, pot and other casual names for both recreational and medical use. Even Illinois , which currently has legalized medical cannabis and decriminalized possession of small amounts of the substance, seems to be headed toward legalizing cannabis for recreational use.

However, legalizing cannabis for medicinal purposes in particular has become more popular over the years because of its known anti-inflammatory and appetite-inducing properties, on top of a number of the other positive benefits for lots of people living with various health conditions. Although there is research that warns about the effects of smoking cannabis and there is still more research to be done for people living with HIV, it is well known in the HIV community that cannabis consumption can help offset the effects of muscle soreness, nausea, loss of appetite and other symptoms that often come with HIV and the medications used to treat it.

Despite these benefits, however, there are still providers who are skeptical. This is one reason why Park and many others advocate for cannabis as a less harmful alternative for people living with chronic conditions. The pills were huge, and I took eight at a time.
