Cannabis has more than 120 recognized phytochemicals that may improve many physical, neurological, and mental conditions. For some conditions, medical marijuana may be the best treatment option available.

At IndicaMD, we offer easy online certification for medical marijuana in Minnesota, New York, and California. Here are some reasons doctors recommend medical cannabis as an alternative treatment to many people.

Cannabis May Be The Ideal Pain Medication

Most commonly prescribed pain medications have harmful side effects and limitations. NSAIDs such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen can irritate your stomach lining and even lead to ulcers. Paracetamol is generally considered safer than NSAIDs, but it can also cause liver damage in high doses. Opioids are the most effective against moderate to severe pain but lead to dependence and addiction. None of these are good for long-term pain management.

Scholars have suggested Cannabis as a substitute for opioid-based pain medications. THC works similarly to opioids to relieve pain but without the high risk of dependence and addiction. Cannabis may be—and we don’t say this lightly—the best pain medication ever discovered.

Medical Cannabis For Insomnia

A similar case can be made for cannabis as an alternative treatment for insomnia. Cannabis treats many of the conditions known to make insomnia worse, such as chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and multiple scoliosis. Marijuana can also help restore the natural circadian rhythm, something people with insomnia commonly struggle with. If you have insomnia, get a certification for medical marijuana from IndicaMD and see if it helps.

CBD and Inflammation

CBD is one of the two major cannabinoids in cannabis. CBD has psychoactive effects but doesn’t produce the high you get from cannabis. However, CBD has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which can help prevent diseases. It can also naturally improve inflammatory diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.
