"The clinical potential and demonstrated benefits of Cannabinoid-related compounds (found in Medical Cannabis) for spinal injury and neurological issues is simply undeniable at this point."
- Dr. Gabet
Spinal cord injuries often, but not necessarily result in permanent disability.
Minor spinal injury results in a temporary loss of strength in the body area it services - and the pain can be horrific, with inflammation about the vertebrae radiating all the way from spine to the tips of the fingers and toes.
Scientists have been talking for decades about future therapies that will free the disabled from their wheelchairs. However mainstream medicine has found that a solution to spinal injury is very elusive. Since Medical Marijuana legalization, a wealth of good data has become available: clinical trials, studies and testimonials - from doctors and patients that attest to the benefits of MMJ.. Scientists are optimistic that Cannabis Medicines - in combination with other therapies - will someday make the repair of spinal cord injuries possible.

Doctor's Testimonials : How Medical Cannabis works in Neurological Conditions
Researchers found that humans respond to Medical Marijuana because we naturally possess
compounds that activate receptors - in a similar manner to Cannabinoids - the active ingredients in MMJ. In clinical studies it was found that bones, skeleton, cartilage and spine growth is regulated by both natural and Marijuana Cannabinoids. Researchers concluded that fractures healed better, faster and stronger with Marijuana Meds. Both Cannabinoids, THC and CBD are associated with nerve regeneration is several clinical studies as well.
"The clinical potential of cannabinoid-related compounds is simply undeniable at this point, it is clear that it is possible to detach a clinical therapy objective from the psychoactivity of cannabis (non-psychoactive MMJ is effective). CBD, the principal agent in our study, is primarily anti-inflammatory and has no psychoactivity." - Dr. Gabet
"We found that CBD alone makes bones stronger during healing, enhancing the maturation of the collagenous matrix, which provides the basis for new mineralization of bone tissue, After being treated with CBD, the healed bone will be harder to break in the future." - Dr. Gabet.
"Inflammation is part of the body's natural immune response, but in cases like injury and trauma, it can get out of hand. Studies have also shown that Medical Cannabis is strongly anti-inflammatory, and CBD to be a safe agent." - 420EvaluationsOnline.
"THC is an effective and safe drug in the treatment of spasticity." - Swiss Medical Researchers.
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Four of the spinal discs in his neck became fused together creating esophagus blockage, chronic pain, nausea, and eating and breathing difficulties. Patient, Mr. Parsons refused addicting opiates fearing addiction. Instead he tried Medical Marijuana.
“I cannot tell you how happy I am with it, I have learned so much about CBD and its painkilling properties.” - M. Parsons
"Smoking helps me tremendously in keeping the burning & "red ants" sensation (to me it feels as though a bunch of ants are crawling & biting). I also have noticed that it does a good job at stopping spasms as well." - Off the record
"I use pot during the day cuz it's the only way to stay awake. Without pot I would have to use a narcotic painkiller, Neurontin muscle relaxer, anti-anxiety med, & anti-nausea med......I prefer the THC fog to the narcotic fog....is thicker than the THC fog bank." - Not saying
