Dealing with stiff, cramping muscles, and daily aching is just another way of life for 2.5 million people who live with MS. Another 15 million people who suffer from spinal chord injuries have similar pains on top of limited movement and the lack of sleep they most desperately need.

Many of the conventional medications can reduce the patients discomfort-yet taking them rarely provides complete relief. Often the drugs cause weakness, drowsiness, and other side effects that some patients find intolerable such as always being constipated.

With this outlook, many patients who have MS and spinal injuries have sought the use of medical marijuana seeds because when they smoke the herb, their pain decreases.

Patients of spinal chord injuries and MS also said they valued the drug because it relieved nausea or helped them sleep. A 1982 study of people with spinal cord injuries, found that 21 of 43 of the case studies reported that marijuana lessened muscle spasticity (a condition in which muscles tense reflexively and resist stretching), while nearly every participant in a 1997 survey of 112 regular marijuana seed users with multiple sclerosis replied that the drug lessened both pain and spasticity.

This is not to say that most people with multiple sclerosis find relief with marijuana but only that the marijuana users among them do.

Animal research demonstrates that marijuana reduces muscle spasticity. Spasms are theorized to occur in areas of the brain that manage movement, including various areas that have abundant cannabinoid receptors.

One such experiment showed that when rodents receive small doses of cannabinoids they become more active, yet when they receive higher doses they are less active

Many users report that the herb makes their body sway back and fourth.

The exact process in which cannabinoids exert these effects remains unknown. Despite the suggestive findings and the depth of anecdotal evidence, marijuana seeds antispasmodic properties remain largely untested in the clinic.

Very few reports are helpful because they are limited in the amount of people and in general hard to find.

Still, the lack of good universally effective medicine for muscle spasticity is a compelling reason to continue exploring cannonaded drugs in the clinic.
