Emily Earlenbaugh, PhD Biography
- Title:
- Director of Patient Consulting at Mindful Cannabis Consulting
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Marijuana Be a Medical Option?"
- Reasoning:
-
“The most common use of cannabis is as a pain reliever… Cell, animal and human trials, as well as patient reports, all confirm cannabis’ efficacy for chronic pain relief…
When patients use cannabis medicinally, their natural endocannabinoid system is stimulated by cannabinoids, resulting in reduced pain and inflammation. These anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties make cannabis an option for ameliorating the daily suffering from common chronic pain conditions like arthritis and neuropathy, which decrease mobility and reduce quality of life.
Access to cannabis for pain management is especially important for seniors because the pharmaceutical alternatives can be deadly.”
