Migraine headaches can be extremely severe and debilitating. Many of the medications currently used for migraine headaches have significant side effects and often do not prevent or relieve all of the symptoms. Marijuana was used to treat migraine headaches for many years in the nineteenth century, however due to the political climate and attitude towards marijuana in the twentieth century, it was not researched or promoted as an effective treatment for migraines. Many patients who suffer from migraines found on their own that marijuana either prevented or lessened the intolerable pain from this condition. Recent research has shown that THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, inhibits the release of serotonin from the blood of migraine sufferers during an acute attack, thereby reducing symptoms of pain. Although further scientific research is needed, many MMEC patients are using medical marijuana safely and effectively to prevent and treat their migraine headaches.

    If you suffer from migraine headaches, have side effects from migraine headache medication, or are looking for an alternative and natural treatment for your migraines, call Marijuana Medicine Evaluation Center and make an appointment with one of our compassionate and knowledgeable physicians.

      Relief from Chronic Pain

      THC has been shown to help decrease the pain associated with migraine headaches. Used by itself or in conjunction with other analgesics (pain relievers), medical marijuana can make the pain of migraine headaches more tolerable. MMEC physicians can help you decrease the pain associated with migraine headaches.

      Relief from Nausea & Vomiting

      THC, the main chemical component in marijuana, can help with nausea and vomiting. Although recent advances have resulted in new medications to help with these side effects, some patients prefer using a more natural way of treating these symptoms. Many MMEC patients report improvement in their quality of life with less nausea and vomiting when they use medical marijuana before, during, and after their migraines.

      Relief from Stress & Anxiety

      Migraine headaches are a huge source of physical and psychological stress. Patients are not only drained physically, but emotionally as well. Medical marijuana can help your body and mind relax, allowing you to channel your energy into healing. MMEC physicians can help you integrate this natural approach to your treatment.

      It's Nature's Medicine

      Avoid over-medicating with toxic pain killers. You should feel good about using a natural approach to wellness and having a chance to enjoy life again!
