Research Shows Marijuana Can Help Relieve Chronic Pain

I am often asked if medical marijuana can be an effective tool to reduce chronic and neuropathic pain.

While I can't speak from personal experience, I have followed the research and believe strongly that marijuana has been proven to be an effective medicine against pain for many people with many different kinds of pain.

Here are some summaries of the research out there. I hope you find this information helpful.

Ever onward...

WE NEED YOUR HELP GETTING MEDICAL MARIJUANA LEGALIZED IN SOUTH CAROLINA!

Patients in SC are suffering for no good reason. According to innumerable doctors, scientists, and patients around the world, Marijuana is good medicine.

So why are our politicians, who are quick to point out the evils of "big government," stopping licensed physicians from prescribing good medicine to suffering patients in SC?

We made major progress this past year in our goal to legalize medical marijuana in SC, so let's turn up the heat on our hypocritical legislature and help our fellow South Carolinians get the relief they need as soon as possible. SC House Minority Leader, Todd Rutherford (D-Columbia) has filed NEW comprehensive legislation (H 3128) that would legalize medical marijuana in SC for a broad range of medical conditions.

While certainly not all-inclusive, this is an excellent bill that would relieve suffering for innumerable patients in SC.

WAYS YOU CAN HELP!
