THC shows promise in treating various health conditions

THC is recognized for its potential therapeutic benefits in various medical conditions. Research suggests that it may help alleviate symptoms associated with:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• HIV/AIDS
• Crohn’s disease
• Epilepsy and seizures
• Glaucoma
• Multiple sclerosis and muscle spasms
• Chronic pain
• Nausea and vomiting due to cancer treatment

While the FDA has not approved cannabis as a treatment for medical conditions, it has approved THC-based medications like dronabinol for nausea associated with cancer chemotherapy and weight loss in AIDS patients. Additionally, some medical cannabis formulations aim to provide symptom relief without the psychoactive effects typically associated with recreational use.[1]
