Cannabinoids, Marijuana, THC for Stroke re...

Despair's Photo Despair 18 Dec 2014

Is Cannabis with THC dangerous or actaully helpful in recovery from stroke?

Taking it lets say just a couple of days after a stroke has took place , Or will it slow down and hinder recovery?

And taking it continuously for a long peroid of time consecutive.

The only thing that I can say:

I would look into and would perhaps decide based on those informations.

If I decide to used it, I would avoid to take it on the longterm because of this:

Of course ask a doctor before use anything. This should be clear !

 

So I´ve found this:

Cannabis and Stroke

http://thecompassion...bis-and-stroke/

 

So according to those sources, cannabis is good.

 

On the other hand by checking the source, I can only find good things about cannabis.

See their encyclopedia:

http://thecompassion...is-and-hivaids/

http://thecompassion...ntal-disorders/

 

Theres nothing about canabis induced psychosis or anything bad...

 

Those are the opposite results:

Cannabis use: signal of increasing risk of serious cardiovascular disorders.

Cannabis-related stroke: myth or reality?

http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/23271508

 

and the responses

Heres something about the mentioned stenosis

There are better ways than cannabis to help Your brain after a stroke, like Herbals:

or CDP-choline, cerebrolysin & etc.

 

If I remeber correctly:

Cannabis decreases the bloodflow to the frontal and limbic regions, whereas it increases it to the cerebellum.

Consider Alpha GPC for stroke...

Or mini--stroke (known in dorky medical jargon as transient ischemic attack) sufferers should strongly considering supplementing 1200 milligrams daily.

Integrated Brain Restoration after Ischemic Stroke, a 2009 paper University of California, Berkeley stated:

“Brain injury from ischemic stroke can be devastating, but full brain restoration is feasible...  [Alpha GPC] has been administered to almost 3,000 stroke patients in five stroke trials. Brain plasticity underpins the function-driven brain restoration that can occur following stroke."
