What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Overview by Medical Marijuana Treatment Clinics of Florida
Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is a process involving the immune system where an abnormal response by the immune system of the body is directed against the nervous system. The central nervous system, which is most impacted by MS, consists of one’s brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. The abnormal response by the immune system leads to inflammation that damages the system’s myelin, the nerve fibers, and the cells which produce myelin.

Endocannabinoid receptors have been discovered in various parts of the peripheral and central nervous system, and in almost every aspect of the pain pathway. Other endocannabinoid receptors have been found to play a role in reducing and regulating inflammatory pain.”
