The Benefits of Cannabis and Hemophilia A

Hemophilia A is the lack of the blood to clot. This can lead to prolonged bleeding with wounds as well as internal bleeding problems. People with Hemophilia experience conditions that can be relieved with medical marijuana. These include:

  • Bruising and swelling in soft tissue and muscle
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Inflammation
  • Swollen Joints
  • Pain
  • Nausea
  • Stiff and Tight Joints

Traditionally opiate drugs are prescribed for treatment to treat swelling. Side-effects of NSAID are nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite and constipation. Long-term effects of these narcotics can be addiction and damage to the liver and kidneys.

Cannabis can treat the symptoms of Hemophilia but it does not cure. Marijuana has clinical proof to treat inflammation, increase appetite, pain, nausea, headaches and joint pain. Marijuana is a safe alternative to opiate medication for its lower addiction rate and less side-effects.
