Medical Marijuana Neurological Benefits
Topic:
This paper discusses Medical marijuana (cannabis) health benefit for improving neurological
function and treating neurological disorders or diseases. This paper will explore, discuss and
analyze the neurology-related components of cannabis. This paper will discuss the reasons that
can be used for the use of medical marijuana and its health benefits, particularly for the brain.
Purpose/Introduction:
Scientific researchers have discovered that Marijuana (cannabis) plant has chemical
components called cannabinoids that interact with receptors of the Central Nervous System that
produce biological effects and can enhance neurological functions and can help treat a range of
This paper’s purpose is to identify the Medical Marijuana benefits that may be significant to
Neurological health. This paper will identify whether Marijuana has benefits towards neurological
Discussion:
Marijuana (cannabis) is one of the most abused psychoactive, Eventually, marijuana gained
substantial recognition and acceptance among men. The human brain can naturally produce
administered drug that directly affects actions by influencing brain function (Konopka et al., 2014).

Sclerosis, arthritis, muscle cramps, over-weight, malignant tumor, inflammatory bowel illness
and neurological disorder such as epilepsy, alzheimer's disease, parkinson's disease, stress, trauma
and anxiety are related to the efficacy of cannabis to its medical significance. Legalizing and
increasing marijuana use lead to high exposure of all types of age groups, particularly in
adolescence. High dependency on this medication, can have brief and long effects of cannabis to
The adverse effects of cannabis provide clear proof that marijuana misuse can lead to brain
damage and cognitive impairment. In contrast, therapeutic benefits show that data support
cannabis use over conventional therapy is to restore the building and work of the System of Central
Nerve in diseases including epilepsy. However, further study is needed to determine medicinal
effects of cannabis for people with neurological or psychiatric illness (Mandelbaum et al., 2017).
there is no specific therapy. The therapeutic treatment of cannabis in neurological disorders will
only modulate or reduce the pain sensation or excessive muscle tension of the patient (Kotula et
al., 2015).
The second most prevalent neurological condition in the US, Parkinson's disease (PD), It’s a
nerve cell called intropin. Current medication is merely symptom and mainly involves the
substituting of intropin hormonal imbalance. This medication only enhances Parkinson's motor
symptoms associated with a variety of adverse reactions, like delayed movement. The possible
benefits of cannabis and linked compounds are treating either motor and non-motor signs and

sluggish development of the disease. Possible marijuana factor improves the quality of life of
Parkinson's patients. United States also pointed the beneficial role of cannabis in relieving
symptoms of nonmotor PD. One of the main elements of marijuana, cannabidiol (CBD) has been
shown to be involved in the treatment of PD patients with depression and sleep disorders
Marijuana can therefore provide alternative therapy for the disease of Parkinson. Parkinson's
disease was also listed as one of America’s states and cities criteria for legal and medical
marijuana use. In clinical research involving stress, inflammation and complications of motor
neurons associated with Parkinson's disease, cannabinoids have also been shown to be effective.
Cannabis associated with neurology has benefits that can help improve neurological function
and can be an alternative therapy because of the elements it contains for brain-related disorders
like epilepsy, stress, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and anxiety. Yet abusing it for non-
medical purposes may result in fatal dependence, cognitive impairment, chronic illness or brain
Conclusion:
Lastly, this paper identified that Marijuana has benefits towards neurological function and
treatment.
Marijuana is one of the most abused psychoactive drugs, but eventually it gained substantial
acceptance among men where lot of nations and states made it legal for medical purposes. The
effectiveness of marijuana towards medical use are related to the wide treatment of illness
including neurological disorders like epilepsy, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, Alzheimer’s disease

and Parkinson’s disease. Therapeutic benefits show restoration of the central nerve system by
using cannabis over standard therapy for building and work in illness like epilepsy. The
therapeutic treatment of cannabis in neurological disorders will only modulate or reduce the pain
sensation or excessive muscle tension of the patient. Parkinson's disease was listed as one of the
conditions approved for medical marijuana, the marijuana beneficial effect is that one of its major
constituents is the alleviation of non-motor symptoms and the medication of psychotic disorder
and sleep disturbance with PD patients. Therefore, Marijuana may offer alternative therapies for
Neurological disorders, illnesses or improve neurological function and abuse of marijuana for
