The anecdotal and clinical evidence all confirm that CBD is useful for neurological patients. Contemporary scientific research echo this sentiment but has so far been unable to pin on all the factors, responsible for treating neuro problems. Hopefully, future research will shed enough light on it.

1. A Detailed Look at CBD’s
Effectiveness in Treating
Neurological Disorders
Presented By: cbdmyth.com

2. Neurology and CBD

3. In the present Power Point Presentation, we’ll discuss
CBD’s effectiveness in treating neurological
disorders.
Medical practitioners from various parts of the world are
now using cannabis extract to cure neurological
problems and resulting pain and inflammation. And so
far, there have been many success stories.

4. Nature of studies
conducted
Before we start our discussion, here’s a synopsis of the
studies conducted and the takeaways gleaned from them,
presented in bulleted points below:
•The studies were conducted by groups of health
professionals. Some were privately sponsored, some were
groups of esteemed neurologists and some were affiliated
by the government.

5. • A plethora of disorders, all treated by CBD were
studied, including seizures, huntington disease,
cervical dystonia, multiple sclerosis,
parkinson disease, tourette syndrome,
epilepsy.
• Both medically approved and non-medical marijuana
consumption methods were reviewed. Pills like oral
cannabis extract (ORE), Nabiximols, etc were studied
alongside smoking or vaping cannabis.

6. The evidence from these studies revealed both THC and
CBD are effective in the treatment of neurological
diseases, though in varying degrees.

7. Findings, in a
nutshell
The findings were quite interesting. From the studies, it
appears the scarier the disease, the better the relief. For
example, multiple sclerosis (MS) patients uniformly
complain about pain, which sometimes become
excruciating. Oral CBD extracts have been found to alley
the pain, arising from MS.

8. Synthetic THC has been reported to reduce the
symptoms of spasticity, especially the pain that people
unfortunate enough to have to deal with this disease bear.
The study shows a short-term use of CBD and THC and
a mixture of them can alleviate pain whereas for
complete cure, long-term use is preferred.

9. The science behind it
Research on medical cannabis has made significant
strides lately. The previous consensus was CBD directly
binds to a group of endocannabinoid receptors. But
recent studies found that CBD interacts with the
endocannabinoid system only in vitro at
supraphysiological concentrations. This has prompted
scientists to understand its molecular targets better. They
believe the answer to how CBD cures neurological
disorders lies in its molecules.

10. The molecular targets that have so far been identified
encompass a number of ion channels, transporters,
enzymes and receptors. The most interesting about these
studies is the wayward behavior of the targets.
Because of volatile behavior of CBD’s molecular targets,
it’s difficult for scientists to determine whether CBD usage
and recovery from neurological problems are linked or
simply correlated. Luckily for them, some targets were
totally consistent with the results of previous clinically
controlled neurological treatment.

11. It’s safe to assume that there’s a causative relation
between CBD’s molecular targets and recovery from
neurological disorders. With the progress of ongoing
scientific research, this relation will be explored.

12. The brain benefits
The brain is probably the
most important area of the
central nervous system.
CBD’s impact on brain and
the consequences are all well-
documented. The way CBD
acts upon the brain speeds up
the recovery from
neurological problems.

13. Here’s how it
happens:

14. CBD acts upon the 5-HT1A receptor. This
receptor is known as the serotonin receptor.
It’s one of very few receptors which CBD actively
stimulates. According to studies, some serotonin
receptor agonists and antagonists provide
neuroprotection. One such agonist is flibanserin.
CBD releases cannabinoid receptor agonists,
which work as proxies for serotonin drugs.

15. CBD also activates the opioid receptor.
The benefits?
Pain and nonstop inflammation are both
significantly reduced. Neurological diseases,
especially the ones involving the spine are
accompanied by pain.

16. What the law says?
Cannabis is undoubtedly effective against neurological
problems.
There are 21 states other than Washington DC
where the consumption of medical marijuana is allowed.
But don’t get excited
already.
Not all states permit you to consume
it.

17. If you are thinking you can buy medical marijuana from
the nearest drug house because you live in one of the 21
states, you are wrong. In the United States, medical
marijuana is FDA controlled. FDA approved
medical marijuana drugs are dronabinol and nabilone.

18. Fortunately, some pill is not FDA approved only means a
licensed health practitioner will not prescribe you that
medicine. You can still get it. Some states approve
the sale of cannabis products that are high in
CBD and low in THC. You can buy these products.
They are unlikely to be available in drugstores. So buy
online.

19. Caution about side-
effects
Cannabis users, especially those who want to recover
from neurological diseases must be cautious. Clinical
trials reveal cannabis usage come with a number of
side-effects, including dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
These side-effects may prove fatal for anyone suffering
from nerve disorders.
CBD products is far safer in this regard. That’s
chiefly because they have an optimal ratio of CBD and
THC, making it safe to use and highly effective.

20. Summing up
The anecdotal and clinical evidence all confirm that
CBD is useful for neurological patients.
Contemporary scientific research echo this sentiment but
has so far been unable to pin on all the factors,
responsible for treating neuro problems. Hopefully,
future research will shed enough light on it.
