Many veterans have returned home with new life-altering conditions or disabilities, which impair their daily life and influence their mood.
Unfortunately, there are not always many effective treatments that can help aid some of these new symptoms, and many times Veterans are left to find their own solution to their conditions. More often than not, medical marijuana can provide relief to many symptoms that Veterans have when they return home after being on duty.
Medical marijuana has been known to help millions of people with different needs and disabilities. Veterans are among the most popular to have medical marijuana cards as cannabis has been found to have a variety of benefits that can change day to day lives of Veterans.
Benefits of medical marijuana
1. No risk of addiction or harmful side effects
Veterans face too many issues when battling their conditions already and are often prescribed different pain medications that can be harmful to the body. The last thing that any veteran should have to worry about is developing an addiction to their treatment or dangerous side effects. But with medical marijuana, that worry can be alleviated. Medical marijuana is non-addictive and carries no serious side effects, unlike many opioids.
2. Mental health benefits
The stresses of serving often leave a veteran with one or many mental health conditions–from anxiety and depression to insomnia and PTSD. These conditions are hard to treat, but with medical marijuana, you can see promising changes quickly without sorting through a variety of medications. Medical marijuana has been shown to provide relief and ease the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Many patients see a positive change in their lives with a medical marijuana card.
3. Physical health benefits
Veterans can sometimes face physical effects (along with mental health effects) from their service to our country. Medical marijuana can ease a variety of physical symptoms that are commonly faced by Veterans.
Medical marijuana is effective in treating the following conditions, plus many more.
● Cancer pain
● Chronic pain
● Inflammatory bowel disease
● Muscle spasms
● Parkinson’s disease tremors
● Multiple sclerosis symptoms
