Using medical marijuana for Huntington’s disease may also help alleviate symptoms by protecting the neurons from damage caused by mutant Huntington protein. Researchers discovered this when they looked at THC in lab studies where it reduced swelling, protected nerve cells from dying, and improved cell metabolism after being exposed to harmful toxins similar to those who have HD.
The study found that taking medical marijuana for Huntington’s disease significantly improved:
Cognitive function
Mood
Overall well-being in people with HD. It also relieves psychiatric problems associated with the disease such as irritability, depression, and mood swings.
