  • Stopping Cannabis Aids Cognition in MS, But Not Awareness of Gains

    Posted by John Connor on June 22, 2021 at 10:22 am

    Back to one of my specialist subjects! Hey, I’ve put the work in.

    A web survey found 2/3’s of MS patients used cannabis. And this Canadian study finds [as repotted by our news team] , unsurprisingly, that constant use harms cognition.

    When I first visited an Amsterdam ‘cafe’ some of the patrons were slowly drooling on themselves. Unlike alcohol u can’t OD on it. Some joints are like downing a bottle of scotch in one gulp!

    Hence impairment is easy.

    I’ve found occasional use really helps muscle spasms and is also, er, fun.

    Any of your own observations to share?

    I think my head was clearer in college when I wasn’t smoking…but who can remember? :-). It does make sense, however. Did we need a study to confirm this?
