Pain Management

A recent study in the journal Science showed that the activation of CB1 in glutamatergic nocioreceptors, and the subsequent inhibition of the receptors, was the primary mechanism for reduction of pain. The activation of CB1 occurs when exogenous cannabinoids are introduced into the body and act on receptors in the Endocannabinoid System. Cannabis oil can be beneficial to individuals suffering from chronic pain and has been shown to be especially effective in cancer patients.

Epileptic Seizures

The most famous case for cannabis oil involves Charlotte Figi, a young girl with treatment resistant Dravet’s syndrome. Charlotte’s parents were out of options and decided to try cannabis oil as a last resort. The effects were incredible, and Charlotte went from having 300 grand mal seizures a week to zero. The effects of cannabinoids, especially CBD, have been proven effective in managing childhood epilepsy and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently released a pharmaceutical CBD medication called Epidiolex, which is the first in its class to treat the seizures associated with childhood epilpesy.

Alzheimer’s Disease

One of the characterising markers of Alzheimer’s Disease is a buildup of Amyloid plaque in the neural tissue. A recent study found that cannabinoids, specifically THC, slowed the buildup of plaque and were more effective at treating Amyloid plaque than traditional Alzheimer therapies.

Heart Health

Maintaining good blood pressure is the key to good heart health, and cannabis oil may help. Several studies, performed on animals, demonstrated the effects of cannabis on lowering blood pressure, with the results being transferrable to a human population.

Multiple Sclerosis

A recent study found that cannabinoids may help reduce the effects of MS by lowering inflammation and acting as a neuroprotectant in the brain. In the study, mice were bred to be deficient in CB1 receptors and demonstrated increased inflammation and susceptibility to neurodegeneration, which suggested that targeted activation of CB1 receptors will lower the immune response and subsequent inflammation as well as offer neuroprotectant qualities in the brain.

Appetite

Cannabinoids, specifically THC, are tied to increased appetite and stimulation of the hunger center in the brain

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Cannabinoids have been shown to act on CB2 receptors in the stomach and bowels and act to decrease inflammation in these organs. “A 2011 study found that 51% of ulcerative colitis patients and 48% of Crohn’s disease patients are lifetime cannabis users.”

Sleep

Approximately 4 out of 10 Canadians have difficulty with sleep and are turning to cannabis oils to help their condition. An older study, from 1973, found that THC aided patients in falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer.

Arthritis

The Arthritis Society of Canada has become a leading proponent for ongoing studies involving the use of cannabis oil as a management strategy for arthritis. Cannabinoids have been well established as a way to reduce inflammation in the body and there are many subjective reports of individual’s who have attained arthritis relief when using cannabinoid therapy

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is characterized as fluid build-up in the front of the eye which causes increased pressure within the eye. Cannabinoids, especially THC, have been found to reduce eye pressure and alleviate some of the symptoms of glaucoma

Asthma

For individuals who suffer from asthma, cannabinoid oil therapy could be of great benefit. Traditionally, smoking or vaping cannabis causes irritation to the lungs and airway, however oil taken sublingually negates these irritating effects and allows asthma sufferers to take their medication without irritating the airway and lungs.

Stress and Anxiety

A recent study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders demonstrated that patients who used cannabinoid therapy experienced a significant reduction in stress and anxiety. The study found that CBD was especially beneficial at reducing depression, while THC therapy was better at reducing overall stress levels.

PTSD

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies reported that “Researchers found that people with PTSD had lower levels of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid compound, compared to those who did not show signs of PTSD and innate to all mammals, anandamide (our inner cannabis, so to speak) triggers the same receptors that are activated by THC and other components of the marijuana plant.”

Neuroprotectant

A 2002 study found that “endogenous levels of anandamide and 2-AG also increase following TBI in mice and rats; when both compounds were administered after TBI, the extent of brain damage was reduced. Reductions in the extent of brain oedema (accumulation of fluid leading to swelling), infarct volume (extent of tissue necrosis), and hippocampal cell death were all noted, along with a generally-improved clinical recovery”.

Cancer

A recent study published in the British Journal of Cancer found that THC and other cannabinoids inhibit tumour cell growth and may slow or reverse the effects of certain types of cancer.

The Future of Cannabis Oil

Although the health benefits of cannabis oil are numerous, all current studies reached the same conclusion that further cannabis oil research is necessary to determine exactly how it acts in the body and the potential clinical applications for use.

Now that cannabis has been legalized the research will be forthcoming, and a number of large studies are already taking place. Five years from now our knowledge on cannabis will likely be clinical rather than empirical, and the science will back the empirical knowledge we already possess.

What does the American Cancer Society say about the use of marijuana in people with cancer?

The American Cancer Society supports the need for more scientific research on cannabinoids for cancer patients, and recognizes the need for better and more effective therapies that can overcome the

often-debilitating side effects of cancer and its treatment. The Society also believes that the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance by the US Drug Enforcement Administration imposes numerous conditions on researchers and deters scientific study of cannabinoids. Federal officials should examine options consistent with federal law for enabling more scientific study on marijuana.

Medical decisions about pain and symptom management should be made between the patient and their doctor, balancing evidence of benefit and harm to the patient, the patient’s preferences and values, and any laws and regulations that may apply.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), the Society’s advocacy affiliate, has not taken a position on legalization of marijuana for medical purposes because of the need for more scientific research on marijuana’s potential benefits and harms. However, ACS CAN opposes the smoking or vaping of marijuana and other cannabinoids in public places because the carcinogens in marijuana smoke pose numerous health hazards to the patient and others in the patient’s presence.
