|  My uncle was just diagnosed with MS? How useful is marijuana for it? And can anybody give me a link to some MS organizations that advocate or support medical marijuana? If I send my family a link to NORML or something they will just write it off. Thanks in advance.

| The first thing I thought about when reading your post was this clip from The Union. I'm not sure if this will help you however.

| I am a bodyworker and also teach Yoga and I have seen firsthand the difference MJ can make for people with MS. While it will not cure the disease it often makes it a lot easier to move and stretch and feel better in one's body. Sometimes dramatically so. That said I doubt you can convince your uncle if those studies aren't enough. After all they were conducted by reputable organizations! Mainstream MS groups are going to push their own drugs. And yes NORML has a little booklet about MJ and MS. |

| If that seriously isn't enough information to sway someones opinion, then that just blows my mind. Where gonna have to hear the words come from Jesus Christs mouth before everyone takes it seriously lol. Of course it would be reported that Satan came to us in the form of Jesus and told us that. I have chron's and the orginizations like "Chrons and Colitis foundation of America (CCFA)" all get paid by the drug companies to push there drugs on there websites and magazines. They also have come out and said Marijuana makes things worse (putting it in the same category as cig smoke). Yet a few million people disagree. So im %100 sure the same bullshit goes with MS. sorry for going a bit off the MS topic. |

Much more useful would be for me to be able to say "(Reputable person's name here) advocates for the use of medical marijuana for MS." Since writing the original post I found Montel Williams which is helpful, but it would be better if I had an actual medical foundation. | |
