hi, im 16 and recently have been told to have hkpp, i was givn diamox to help with it but did not work it only made it worse for about the last couple of months ive been smoking cannabis and i have only just realized that from smoking it my episodes havnt been as repeating them selves as much as they had been when i was younger , i still get the odd episode now and again but they dont last for 1 week , only a day or so . this is just a litle bit of info for anybody who would like to read more .this is for ms sufferers but has mainly but helps me with my neuromuscular problems and i dont reaconmend smoking it but thats up to yourself. Many people with MS swear that the drug cannabis alleviates their symptoms. Ongoing research trials are being carried out to test whether cannabis can be of benefit to people with MS.

So far, results of clinical trials are encouraging, especially for Sativex, a cannabis spray which has proved effective in research trials in reducing pain, muscle spasms and bladder problems.

Although cannabis is not a cure, research suggests that cannabinoids can play a crucial role in controlling some of the neuromuscular problems seen with MS.

However, there is also mounting evidence to show that the use of cannabis in it's raw leaf form can lead to episodes of psychosis and other mental health issues. **

i agree with you, if people actually took time to study and understand cannabis, they would realise it's huge benefits x
