The exceptions are children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autistic people who have been taking Ritalin and other amphetamine-type psychostimulants since the age of five. Potent drugs are prescribed to improve concentration and behavior. Visit here myhavenstores.com/locations… for more information about cannabis dispensary.

In autism and ADHD, there is a rapid depletion of the nervous system due to insufficient production of dopamine, which they try to replenish with amphetamines, but many children do not tolerate treatment well due to severe side effects such as tremors, the slowdown in growth, and puberty, poor coordination of movements, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, headaches and weakening of the immune system.

Therefore, in a number of countries, the possibility of replacing amphetamines with the intake of synthetic and natural cannabinoids is being studied: there is reason to believe that filling the structures of the ECS with cannabinoids will prevent the overuse of dopamine and increase the endurance of the nervous system.

In Israel, published the results of preclinical studies of the use of Sativa and the synthetic drug THC and in a group of hyperactive children who previously received Ritalin. According to the journal Rambam Maimonides, with daily high doses of THC (4-12 inhalations per day) in most patients, ADHD symptoms are smoothed out so that they are able to stop using stimulants.

Also in Israel, medical cannabis is sometimes prescribed for autistic adolescents to facilitate adaptation in school and college. According to one publication, 60% of autistic teenagers experienced behavioral improvements after experimental cannabinoid use.

Cannabis, which is high in CBD, is used to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders. A number of independent studies support CBD to prevent seizures by eliminating foci of seizure activity in the brain. At the III Congress of the European Community of Neurology Physicians in Amsterdam, results were shown that indica hemp oil with a balanced content of THC and CBD in a dosage of up to 200 mg reduces the incidence of epileptic seizures.

The use of canna oils is especially promising for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome - malignant epilepsy in children, in which seizures occur several times a day and are not controlled by standard anticonvulsants. With the course of taking oil substances inside or in aerosols, children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome can avoid mental retardation. The anticonvulsant effect of CBD is attributed to the binding of the GPR55 protein, which incites synaptic neurons to the uncontrolled release of neurotransmitters that cause abnormal excitation in certain areas of the brain.

There is also evidence of positive results from CBD in Tourette’s syndrome, a neurological disorder similar to epilepsy in cannabis dispensary. Patients with Tourette’s syndrome have involuntary nervous tics that make it difficult to socialize due to complexes and negative reactions from others who mistake tics for defiant behavior. According to the Tourette Association of America, CBD prescribing in a 2018 study at the University of Toronto reduced the frequency of tics in subjects by 60%.

The habit of smoking a joint or pipe before bed is also controversial to the health of the nervous system. Marijuana, which is high in CBD, certainly helps you sleep, but the quality of your night’s rest changes dramatically. Cannabis dispensary prolongs slow delta sleep when the body is completely relaxed, but at the same time shortens the duration of deep REM sleep, which is extremely important for the normal functioning of the brain and the synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is colloquially called the hormone of happiness.
