There are a lot of studies that have shown its value for people with MS and I personally know one woman who has used it regularly for this purpose.

Cannabis is also useful for epilepsy and CP - iow, for a variety of illnesses or conditions in which spasticity is a problem.

YouTube has videos of several people who demonstrate the changes they experience. Check them out.

Oh and also check out the Drug Policy Forum here. There are links to videos and lots of studies that talk about various medical benefits - videos from doctors at conferences who have dealt with many patients.
