Cannabis Vs. Multiple Sclerosis: A Personal Story

The UK and Australia have both approved medical cannabis for treatment of multiple sclerosis symptoms. And, as reported by Health Europa, one Australian MS patient is very thankful the laws have evolved. The article features an interview with Jason Jordan, Australia’s first MS patient prescribed medical marijuana for his condition.

Jason says that at first, he was very much against taking cannabis, but he did the research and realized his preconceptions were wrong. As he puts it, “…in 24 hours [of research], I’d worked out that we’ve all been lied to.” Now, Jason uses cannabis to manage his symptoms, and he says that after 3 months, most people can’t tell he has MS. The interview sheds light on Jason’s journey, what he has struggled through, and how cannabis has helped him.
