Let's talk a little bit today about medical Cannabis, and it's efficacy as it pertains to certain medical conditions. Namely, today, I'd like to address it's efficacy in gastric pro-motility.
My condition, a complication from Type 1 diabetes mellitus, is called gastroparesis, which describes the paralysis of the gastric nerve, and overall peristalsis action. This causes a backup from the end up, and if you imagine a sewage line, getting back up, it's got to go somewhere, and that ends up causing me to have severe nausea and emesis.
Because of this, (and I've had this verified via radiological study), my gastric emptying time (which would normally average approximately 90 minutes) is actually 2,280 minutes, about 24 times longer, or a day and a half.
Now, that was a study done un-medicated. I myself have been medicating with medical grade Cannabis for about 3 years now, since then, and I currently live a normal life, and only suffer from occasional bouts of nausea and vomitting about every other day, as opposed to every day, all day.
I've realized a drastic improvement in my health, and quality of life, which have immensely been improved.
I have Cannabis to thank for this.
Now, just to remind any readers that may be confused about exactly what Cannabis is, that would also be known as Marijuana, Weed, Pot, 420, Herb, and about a billion other names.
So, now, how do you feel about medical marijuana?
