Spinal Cord Disease or Injury Qualifies for Medical Marijuana in Michigan 

Cannabis is known as a successful neuroprotectant and can be successful at preventing further neurological damage if used shortly after the injury has occurred. THC can help alleviate the pain that many with Spinal Cord injuries or disease deal with on a daily basis. If you are a patient living with a spinal cord injury that experiences anxiety or depression as a result of your condition, it’s possible to find specific strain options available at Michigan dispensaries to help lift your mood, while still offering significant overall pain relief. Indica strains can also aid patients that have trouble sleeping due to their pain by treating insomnia. CBD is another great way for patients to alleviate inflammation, as it works in the body to slow the progression of cell death of important nerve cells that are responsible for delivering messages to the rest of your body. CBD is a great way for patients with a Spinal Cord Injury to find relief without the ‘high’ feeling.  When using mixed ratio products from dispensaries such as 1:1 tinctures or edibles they are able to deliver pain relief from the THC, but also reduce inflammation without as many psychoactive effects from having an equal amount of CBD present. Michigan marijuana cardholders with Spinal cord injury can find relief from these symptoms by purchasing medical marijuana from a licensed dispensary.
