Possibly, but: There are a few articles and many anecdotal reports on the benefit of cannabis in ms. However, there are many more articles on the deleterious effects, especially in younger people who don't have ms. I would seek the advice of an ms specialist or someone at an ms clinic to determine whether there is benefit in considering alternative or complimentary therapy for you. Many options now.

Basic facts!!: Marijuana is totally legal in my state, colorado, and i focus in ms, but that does not encourage me to recommend grass, unless all else has failed. Both european and israeli studies have shown benefit in treating spasticity, and maybe controlling anxiety and agitation, but the research is spotty, incomplete and early. Furthermore, there may be interactions with basic ms meds. Consult your doc.
