It begins with that original 200 research paper that we highlighted from the American Alliance for Medical Cannabis (AAMC), which purported that cannabis can have the benefits for PWDs (people with diabetes).

According to a The American Alliance for Medical Cannabis ( AAMC) 2005 published paper, diabetic individuals can use cannabis.

La investigación sugiere que los cannabinoides podrían:

  • stabilizing blood sugars (confirmed via "a large body of anecdotal evidence building among diabetes sufferers").
  • Anti-inflammatory action that may help quell some of the arterial inflammation common in diabetes.
  • "Neuroprotective" effects that help thwart inflammation of nerves and reduce the pain of neuropathy by activating receptors in the body and brain.
  • "Anti-spasmodic agents" help relieve muscle cramps and the pain of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.
  • Acts as a "vasodilator" to help keep blood vessels open and improve circulation.
  • Contributes to lower blood pressure over time, which is vital for diabetics.
  • Substituting cannabis butter and oil in foods "benefits cardiac and arterial health in general".
  • It can also be used to make topical creams to relieve neuropathic pain and tingling in hands and feet.
  • Helps calm diabetic "restless leg syndrome" (RLS), so the patient can sleep better: "it is recommended that patients use a vaporizer or smoked cannabis to aid in falling asleep"

Evidence for all of this still stands, and has in fact been corroborated and built upon in the past decade.

The compounds in cannabis have also been shown to be effective at reducing fluid pressure in the eye, known as intraocular pressure, significantly in individuals with glaucoma: a disease that is associated with diabetic retinopathy.

Lesser-known cannabinoids, like CBD and THCV, have both displayed anti-diabetic properties.

Benefits of marijuana for type 1 diabetes include:

  • Stabilizing blood sugar.
  • Having neuroprotective effects.
  • Having anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Acting as a vasodilator.
  • Having anti-spasmodic effects.
  • Relieving restless leg syndrome (RLS).
