Wirkung von medizinischem Cannabis
The endocannabinoid system regulates a variety of processes in our body. It is designed to keep our bodies in a healthy balance. To do so, cannabinoids bind to special receptors. The CB1 receptors, for example, help us process memory processing and regulate pain. CB2 receptors, for example, act on the immune system. The effect of endocannabinoids on the endocannabinoid system can be mimicked or enhanced by plant cannabinoids, such as those found in the hemp plant.
Cannabinoid receptors are found in different areas of the human body.
CB1 receptors are found mostly in the brain, but also in the organs such as the kidneys or intestines. A particularly high concentration of CB1 receptors is found in brain regions responsible for movement control and information processing. CB1 receptors play an important role in motivation and cognitive functions such as memory formation.
CB2 receptors have been known to be primarily responsible for immune defense in the central nervous system.
Although cannabis contains a total of over 60 compounds, THC and CBD are the ones that mainly interact with the human endocannabinoid system.
THC, the most intensively researched cannabinoid, is known to be intoxicating and particularly medically effective. It tends to binds with the CB1 receptor, which is responsible for the psychoactive effect.
CBD is the second most abundant active ingredient in the hemp plant and is known to counter THC. CBD has no psychoactive effect and is therefore not intoxicating.
Ihr Arzt darf Ihnen Cannabismedikamente verschreiben, wenn Sie unter einer schwerwiegenden Erkrankung leiden und keine alternativen Therapieoptionen zur Verfügung stehen oder aufgrund der zu erwartenden Risiken und Nebenwirkungen nicht möglich sind. Vermutet ihr Arzt eine positive Wirkung, kann er Ihnen auch Cannabis im Einzelfall verordnen.
Rauchen schadet der Gesundheit. Eine der gesünderen und effektiveren Methode zur Anwendung von medizinischem Cannabis ist die Inhalation mittels eines Vaporizers.
The cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids contained in cannabis often have a simultaneous effect on several symptoms of a disease. A look at the published literature shows the indications for which cannabis can be used.
treated with medical cannabis
While drug treatment aims to slow the progression of dementia or "sedate" the person with dementia, recent research shows that cannabis can improve brain performance. This is good news in the fight against dementia.
Crohn's disease is a long-lasting condition that includes inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss are symptoms of Crohn's disease. Studies have already shown that medical cannabis reduces the symptom severity.
Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes are forms of epilepsy that are very complicated to treat due to their severity. Only about five to ten percent of affected patients remain seizure-free following treatment with conventional medication. Medical cannabis has already been shown to effectively counter the abruptly occurring seizures.
Once MS has been diagnosed, there is no way to influence its cause or course. Not even with medical cannabis. Symptomatic therapy can help alleviate the impact of this disease by, for example, reducing muscle spasms.
Medical cannabis – if it has a high CBD content - can be an effective remedy for muscle cramps. CBD has a relaxing, antispasmodic effect and thus counteracts the symptoms.
Studies show that THC has a preventive effect against strokes. This is because the cannabinoid can prevent arteriosclerosis, a common cause of strokes. CBD, on the other hand, has an anti-inflammatory effect and can therefore - according to Geneva scientists - also favorably influence the progress of arteriosclerosis.
Many users of weed have a "feeding frenzy" after a certain period of time. Yes, cannabis is appetizing - and this property can be very useful in some medical conditions. For example, in Alzheimer's disease.
Chemotherapy is very stressful for the human body. Patients often suffer from nausea and vomiting. Medical cannabis can be a useful tool here. Chemotherapy is also often accompanied by pain that can be alleviated by medical cannabis. Research has also documented the effect of medical cannabis on nerve pain.
Glaucoma - also known as glaucoma - can also be treated with medical cannabis. A major problem here is intraocular pressure, which can be reduced considerably by taking cannabis.
Wasting syndrome is the uncontrolled loss of at least 10% of a patient’s bodyweight. Other symptoms include fever and fatigue. Medical cannabis has a relaxing, appetite-stimulating and anti-inflammatory effect in such cases.
Medical cannabis is a good option when standard therapy cannot be used due to your condition and/or if you suffer severe side effects when treated with standard therapy and there is a prospect of a positively affecting your disease course or severe symptoms.
Cannabis is one of the oldest and most valuable cultivated plants. Thanks to its numerous positive properties and possible uses, cannabis has been particularly esteemed in medicine for millennia. The natural remedy was used to treat many diseases such as absent-mindedness, constipation, gout, malaria and rheumatism. The cannabis leaves were also used to treat the wounds of those wounded in times of war.
Sources documenting use of the medicinal herb for more than 10,000 years show that the versatile plant was also used to treat tetanus, cholera as well as appetite problems and insomnia from the 17th to the 19th century. At the International Opium Conference of The Hague in 1925, cannabis fell into disrepute as a drug plant and disappeared from the market. It was not until the discovery of the endogenous cannabinoid system in the mid-1990s that it became clear why cannabis has been used as an anticonvulsant and relaxing medicine all over the world since the Stone Age. Once its image had been restored, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was again included in the official pharmacopoeia in 1996. In 2017, the Cannabis as Medicine Act turned the illegal narcotic into a prescription and marketable medicine for seriously ill patients.
