Medical Marijuana and Skeletal Muscular Spasticity

Muscle spasticity is a neurological condition/symptom that presents as increased muscle tone, muscle stiffness and inability to stretch the affected muscles. It primarily inhibits skeletal muscle. It is most commonly seen in disorders like multiple sclerosis, which causes lesions that affect the nervous system. Medical marijuana is fast becoming a breakthrough medicine in treating muscle spasticity. There are a limited number of treatments and none of them provides complete relief for all sufferers.
