“Cannabis is the single most versatile herbal remedy, and the most useful plant on Earth. No other single plant contains as wide a range of medically active herbal constituents.” – Dr. Ethan Russo, Neurologist, Botanist and Cannabis Expert ; President, International Association for Cannabinoid Medicine
What is ALS?
Imagine one day that you are seemingly enjoying perfect health. Then all of a sudden, you notice that your hand is shaky. In a matter of months other muscles in your body are twitching, then your speech becomes heavy and you start to notice that breathing isn’t as easy as it once was. It becomes difficult to do simple tasks like bathe and clothe yourself. Even a few trips to the doctor yield no result. Lifting of any kind seems impossible. You have no energy and find yourself laughing and or crying uncontrollably for some unknown reason. Before you know it, your body is weak, your muscles have atrophied to the point you are a shell of your former self. You can no longer breathe on your own and require a ventilator to live and you are confined to a wheel chair where you sit idly, drooling and unable to control your body. This is the work of the horrific disease of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). While no two people will have the same experience of the symptoms that I mentioned above, they will all suffer many indignities associated with their ability to move, eat, speak and breathe. And most will die of respiratory failure.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, generally strikes people between the ages of 40-70. A degenerative motor neuron disease, ALS according to the ALS Association, “affects the motor neuron cells in the brain and the spinal cord.” When the motor neurons die, the brain can no longer initiate nor control muscle movement.
Two people in 100,000 are diagnosed with ALS or approximately 5,600 people per year. At any given time there are 30,000 Americans suffering with ALS. Thanks to the ALS Association Ice Bucket Challenge, over $50 Million have been raised to research this terrible disease. To date, pharmaceuticals barely provide any modicum of relief to these patients and certainly do not offer a slowing or cessation of the development of the disease. There is NO cure. These patients often experience rapid health decline causing immense stress for the patient and their loved ones. It is rare for someone to live with this disease 7-10 years after diagnosis.
Enter the cannabis plant…This safe, effective and non-toxic herb offers some hope to those with ALS.
How Cannabis Benefits ALS Patients
Cannabis is both an anti-oxidant and a neuroprotectant as documented in the federal government’s patent 6,630,507 on cannabis. In the case of ALS, this is critically important because the neuroprotectant and anti-oxidant properties of cannabis may help slow the progression of the disease by protecting the motor neurons the disease attacks and kills (Gregory T. Carter 201). The anti-oxidant properties of cannabis help reduce the oxidative stress at a cellular level that contributes to cell death.
Animal research has shown that both synthetic and plant derived THC (one of the many active components of the cannabis plant and the primary psychoactive component – see Cannabinoid & Terpene section below) counteracted neurodegeneration (Stephen Byer 2013). This research has not yet been conducted in human clinical trials but a study by Dr. Mary Abood has shown that symptomatic relief was measured for appetite, insomnia and spasticity in ALS patients (Stephen Byer 2013). The two studies and the large body of scientific work that has already been conducted prove the safety of cannabis warrants further investigation of cannabis and cannabinoids for treatment of ALS.
From a symptom management or palliative care perspective, cannabis can provide great relief for ALS patients. The symptoms of ALS that cannabis can help address are as follows:
Image Source: (Gregory T. Carter 201)
Dr. Gary T. Carter, Medical Director of the St. Luke’s Rehabilitation Institute in Spokane Washington, gave a presentation at the 2014 Patient’s Out of Time Eighth National Clinical conference on Cannabis Therapeutics that addressed the use of cannabinoids for the treatment of ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders. Speaking about the safety and efficacy of cannabis for ALS, Dr. Carter said, “we know more about cannabis than 95% of other medicines. Cannabis is custom made to treat ALS (Carter 2014).” Dr. Carter is an expert in treating neuromuscular disorders and has seen many ALS patients benefit from the use of cannabis.
Cannabinoids & Terpenoids
Cannabinoids are the primary pharmaceutically active chemical in the cannabis plant. There are over a 100 that have been discovered but only a handful have been well researched. The two most common cannabinoids are delta-9 tetrahydrocanbinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBD). Each of these cannabinoids are important in the management of ALS.
THC is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis and can be helpful in reducing inflammation and pain. CBD dampens the negative effects of THC (rapid heartbeat/unwanted psycho-activity), and provides a happier high than with just THC alone. CBD helps relieve muscle spasms, is an anti-inflammatory and a more powerful anti-oxidant than vitamins C or E (Russo 2010). Other important cannabinoids to ALS suffers include cannabinol (CBN) and anti-convulsant, tethrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) an anti-inflammatory, cannabichormene (CBC) an anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain killer) and promotes brain growth, and cannbicyclol (CBL) a pain killer (Carter 2014).
Every cannabis sample will have a different chemical make-up of a variety of active chemical components including cannabinoids and terpenes. Terpenes are the most widely occurring class of chemicals in nature and are considered safe by the FDA. You find them in lemon, lavender and pine trees to name a few. Terpenes in cannabis are thought to provide a synergistic effect with the cannabinoids, meaning some of the “therapeutic effect” of cannabis and much of the experience of the “high” are driven by the terpenes.
If you don’t like the experience of a particular plant sample, try another one. In states where cannabis is legal, be sure to buy cannabis that has been tested for safety and that provides a chemical profile of the percentages of the different cannabinoids and terpenes present in the sample you buy. This will go a long way in helping determine a strain of cannabis that provides the desired effect.
Each human body is different and will respond differently to the different chemical make-up in each plant sample. It may take a while to find the best plant material, chemical ratios and intake methods for the patient. Although cannabis is classified as a Schedule 1 drug and considered to have “no known medical value” according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, cannabis is considered to be one of the safest and most active pharmacologically active plants on the planet. It is a safe and versatile medicine with no lasting side-effects and very low toxicity.
Cannabis Intake Methods for ALS Patients
Talk to your doctor about what will be best for you. If you do not have a doctor in your area, see if you can find a cannabis savvy physician who will give you a consult over the phone. The following are some of the primary intake methods of cannabis.
Inhalation – One of the benefits of using inhaled cannabis to treat these symptoms is that one will get relief almost immediately and have the ability to titrate the medicine as they need. The most popular ways of using inhaled cannabis are via a cannabis cigarette called a joint, a pipe or a bong. Each of these methods directly combust the plant material creating bi-products such as smoke and tars that can irritate the lungs. A gadget called a vaporizer is thought to be a much better choice for anyone using cannabis for therapeutic use. A vaporizer heats the plant material to a certain temperature that activates the cannabinoids releasing them and their complementary terpenes into a clean vapor that can be inhaled with considerably less potential for irritation.
Edibles – Cannabis edibles are preferred by some patients because they get both a stronger effect from the cannabis and sustained relief. It is important to note that when cannabis is ingested it must be metabolized in the liver which can take 30 minutes to three hours depending on one’s body chemistry, potency of the edible and amount of food in their system. It is much more difficult to titrate a cannabis edible than when vaporizing. It may take some time and practice to find the right dose. Each patient is different and therefore, so will their therapeutic dose. Over-consumption of a cannabis edible can be fairly uncomfortable. Avoid this by starting with extremely small doses and waiting three hours before taking more. Depending on one’s body chemistry, the potency of the plant material and the amount of cannabis consumed, an edible can provide sustained relief for 6-9 hours.
Tinctures -Tinctures are suitable for feeding tubes (Carter 2014). In this case, and in the case of patients swallowing the cannabis tincture, the tincture will be processed and metabolized in the body in the same way as a cannabis edible providing similar activation and relief times. If the tincture is taken under the tongue it will move the blood brain barrier almost immediately acting more quickly in a similar fashion to inhaled cannabis. The patient may experience 45 minutes to 3 hours of relief depending on their chemistry, dose, and tincture potency.
Topicals – Topical cannabis applications have strong anecdotal evidence for providing relief for joint pain. There is little if any research in this area, however, many people do report getting sustained muscle and joint relief by using topical products.
Oil – High concentration cannabis oil made from the cannabis plant – NOT HEMP – has anecdotally been reported to help fight cancer, M.S., A.I.D.S. and a variety of other diseases that either attack the nervous system, or result in damage to the nervous system. Visit our Cannabis Intake Methods page for more information about cannabis oil. The science in this area is lacking but promising.
Cautions for Using Cannabis with ALS
While cannabis is safe and has very low toxicity, it can provide undesirable side effects for some including heart palpitations and dizziness. Generally speaking this is caused by the patient using too much or using a plant sample that is not ideal for their body. In the case of overconsumption or low tolerance the unwanted side effects will subside in 45 minutes to three hours for inhalation and 6-9 hours for an ingested preparation.
Please talk with your doctor about cannabis!

Wouldn’t it be nice if some of the money raised from the Ice Bucket Challenge could be used for cannabis research and it’s effect on the progression of ALS?
Hi one of my Uncles is suffering from ALS . He is on Ventilator from past 1 and half year all the time, he can breath on his own only for 5 minutes maximum, but he is perfectly alright , all the organs like kidney, liver, heart are functioning. Respiratory system has collapsed, he can talk, eat, sense but cannot move his legs and hands. What can be done,? need your suggestions My contact number is +91 9741900772. Awaiting for the help.
I was diagnosed with ALS in May 2008. our doctor put me on riluzole, letting me know there was no cure but the medication might provide me a few more months of delayed symptoms. ALS progresses at different rates and affects different body parts first. me being 62 at the time, fell into a category of what they call “fast progression” (older female). My arms weakened first, then my hands, my mouth, and throat, and finally my lungs. Throughout my two-and-a-half-year ordeal, I was able to walk with assistance until I was told to use totalcureherbsfoundation.com herbal formula which helps me get rid of this ALS totally after using it for just 15 weeks treatment plan. The total cure herbal foundation brought me back to life again and terminate all the symptoms.I have a great doctor and a team of wonderful people working at foundation Most of all, my husband!
How are you doing now?
I’m interested in this for a family member. I hope you are doing well!
Cora are you still free of ALS? I lost my wife at 62 in 2020. She suffered from this same thing.
My husband has ALS and has used for only 2 weeks and he has been able to move fingers on his right hand that he could not move before. His right arm/hand was the first to go.
Crystal,
What has your husband been using? Specifically? A mixture? I’m somewhat familiar with CBD, but after what i just read, seems like THC is also beneficial.
My grandfather has been recently diagnosed with ALS. I have been researching CBD for nuero degeneration as we thought he was starting to get Alzheimers. Now I am so lost as to what we should do.
Any help is appreciated.

I am a lung cancer patient who has gotten great results with thc oil….my big tumor has shrunk in the last 5 months since starting the oil and the 2 smaller tumors have disappeared off of the last pet scan completely. Because I also have COPD I am not a candidate for any other form of treatment so the oil is all I am doing. I’m came to this site to see just how the oil can help with ALS as I have a new friend who wants to try oil for her ALS and I want to make sure she’s on the right dose etc. Thank you for this info and I will direct her here as well. We will find the right dose and oil she needs.
ALS for 1 year what kind of oil are u recommending?
My mother was diagnosed with ALS and I’m inquiring as to how much CBD oil should be used and how often. The sooner I can start the better. If anyone has any helpful information please contribute. Anything at all, websites, videos, blogs. The information seems to be out there to improve the lives of those that suffer from ALS. Please email me.
Hello Luis – we are sorry to hear about your mom. It is possible that CBD oil may help your mom and it is possible that she will need THC as well to reap the full possible benefits of the plant. Check out this link https://www.projectcbd.org/condition/6/ALS. You may also try to track down Dr. Gregory T. Carter, the author of this article http://ajh.sagepub.com/content/18/4/264.abstract for a consultation about dosing specific to your mother’s needs. Luis I wish you and your mother well. Let us know how cannabis works for your mom!
Hi my old sister was just diagnose with Als I was reading all these comments does any really know if this thc helps Als and if so we’re can I get some of it for my sister. We live in. NJ
We need it in Alabama my husband has ALS
For those of you using Medical Marijuana….I am waiting for my state issued card. I have Bulbar ALS which has taken my ability to speak clearly and weakened my hands, diagnosed in October 2015. So how do I do this..I go into a shop and tell them what I have and they will know what to give me? How many times a day I sh use it? The last time I smoked weed was in 1974, and it knocked me out for abt 12 hours. I don’t want to sleep the whole day, I sleep well now 8-10 hours with nothing. Please advise. Next question…I think I am right that insurance doesn’t pay for this…How much should I approx. expect to pay? I am assuming that you ingest the oil,Do you put it on a cracker….Any answers would be most helpful, as you can see I don’t have a clue. Thank You
Vicki We are sorry to hear about your diagnosis but are hopeful that cannabis will provide you the relief you desire. The answer to your first question is it depends on what state you are in but most likely you can walk into a dispensary and tell them what you want the cannabis to do for you and they will show you your options. It may take some practice to figure out what works for you. Keep in mind that one does not have to get high to receive therapeutic benefit from cannabis so it is wise to start with a small amount – regardless of your delivery method. I am not aware of insurance that covers cannabis but I am hopeful that one day it will be standard procedure! This link will help you with intake methods https://mychronicrelief.com/what-is-medical-marijuana/cannabis-intake-methods . If you choose to use cannabis oil you will only use a small amount to begin with – the size of a poppy seed. The psychoactivity can be uncomfortable, thus it may make sense for you to build your tolerance until you find the dose for you. Using cannabis oil via rectal administration is reported by many patients to reduce psychoactivity and allow them the freedom to live their lives. For your hands, you may find that a topical application like a salve may provide you relief. The right dose for you could be a very small amount meaning 5-10 mg of THC and a less or equal amount of CBD once to three or four times a day up to as much as 800-1000 mg of either or both cannabinoids. However, I am not a doctor and what I say here is NOT medical advice, it’s for your information. Each person is different. It would be great if your doctor could refer you to someone they trust to help you establish dosing. I also encourage you to reach out to others with this ailment to see what has worked for them. You may also try to get a consultation over the phone with Dr. Gregory Carter who was quoted in this article. I wish you the best! Vicki we would love to know about your experience with cannabis!
This is very interesting and offers hope for als patients. I want to learn as much as I can about the cannibis treatment. Cannibis appearsto offer much with little side effects.
My son is Casey he has ALS is having a difficult time chewing his food I’m wondering if there’s anything that can be done for him using cannabis oil or smoking cannabis He is just turned 42 and has a wife and three children somebody please help I’m his dad my name is Richard
I’m from Canada. I have Bulbar onset ALS. I’m taking .5 mls. low THC high CBD oil from a producer in this country. My question is: Does THC have any medical effects for what I have? The CBD oil has a “cotton mouth” affect although I haven’t seen the effects yet. I’m I taking to little? People say I should be taking the THC along with the CBD to get the nerve protectative effect. Is that right? I read a poppy seed size is what you start out with! I’m taking much more than that! Could you answer my questions?
Hi Richard, I’m in similar position with my brother. I am no expert but my research indicates that yes, definitely your son will benefit from daily ingestion of cannabis oil in tincture form, and possibly additional use of a cannabis ventilator.
I understand that it’s important to ensure the oil contains not just CBD but also THC, and that you should start on a low dose and increase gradually to test how much is comfortable in terms of psychoactive effects for your son.
From what I have read he should start immediately. I don’t know where you live, but if you are in the U.S. and can get to a state where it is legal I would do so. You can find dispensaries by state if you google something like “medical marijuana dispensaries USA” online.
I’m in Europe where the situation is different (medical marijuana is legal in some countries but not in other side).
Good luck – don’t give up. It seems cannabis oil really helps immediately to relieve symptoms and potentially slow progress.
I was diagnosed with ALS a month ago, after two and a half years of symptoms. We live in Washington State, where recreational use of marijuana is legal. Early on, I had difficulty sleeping due to muscle twitching and spasms…My naturopath suggested marijuana for sleep, and wrote a prescription, over a year ago, which helps reduce costs…except the law changed, and pot shops need to comply with certain rules before they can be certified to do medical marijuana.
Using THC edibles, plus melatonin, I sleep a good eight hours. I do experience dry mouth. But do so much better with a good night’s sleep. I take one edible, with 10mg of THC before bed.
I also use a tincture of CBD for muscle pain, and for its anti-inflammatory effects. Sometimes, when I have neck pain from forward head posture, I use topical CBD cream. This always helps.
Thanks for this article! It is helpful!

Hi my mother is suffering from Als for one and half a year. She is 74 year old. Her mouth is dry and speaks unclear.she has problem in swallow . Her mussels has become weak. And walk with difficult. I emailed Dr Carter but i didnot get any answer.i just want to know which one is effective for my mother according to her situation.THC or CBD or both of them.and since i live in iran and it is illegal here from which country in europe i can buy this product and also i want to know about the right dose of this medicine at the begining and next.would you please emai the charactristic of the product to me with the right dose of use and name of the country i can get this product.i am awaiting to hear you.
Thank you
I find the cannabis oil should be the most effective for ALS patients, it is so much easier to intake than other methods and requires such a tiny amount to be swallowed.
I have a family friend who has als and it’s only been a year since she was diagnosed with it. During that year she has lost the ability to walk and is now on a feeding tube. Prior to the feeding tube she was able to eat edibles, which she said helped tremendously. Now that she has a feeding tube we aren’t sure how she can consume CBD oil. Any tips or advice?
The newest method of ingesting cannabis especially for people who can not swallow is suppositories.
Could I please get a link to the dose of oil for ALS?
My father was diagnosed with ALS, bulbar onset, a few weeks ago. He is 62 yrs old. It is breaking my heart that he feels like everyone has given up on him because “there is no cure.” His neurologist won’t even talk about using CBD oil or any holistic/natural healing. As a nurse, this infuriates me that there are things that could help but a doctor won’t even speak of it. I have ordered the CBD oil for him. Can you please tell me someone to contact or is there a site available to figure the appropriate dose for him?
Can I get CBD oil without prescription. If yes please let me know from where (in Chicago, IL)? My dad is diagnosed with als. However he lives in india and I live in Chicago, US. I am
Planning to visit home. If I can find CBD oil here then I can buy one for him. Please help.
My husband has ALS and I could see how CBD is helping him. His condition seemed to be improving after 3 weeks of having this water soluble BioCBDplus. – Lady
Can CBD oil help reverse the effects of ALS?
My ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) symptoms started out with a “foot drop” on my right foot. From there my right leg lost all muscle tone and after a while the entire right leg muscles were gone. Also my fingers and thumbs “contract” at times. Left arm was losing muscle tone too.The neurologist. started me on Riluzole , to reduce symptoms and slow down progression but I could not tolerate them for long due to severe side effects. I decided to adopt a more natural approach and started on ALS Disease Natural formula from THE HERBAL GARDENS, the ALS natural formula immensely helped my condition, it reversed my ALS. my slurred speech. And then the inability to eat without getting choked, strangled, and coughing. and others gradually disappeared. Visit THE HERBAL GARDENS via their official web-site ww w. Theherbalgardens. org. This ALS treatment has improved the quality of my life greatly, Since the procedure I enjoy walking the dog for my daily exercise. DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!!!
Dear Theresa Christensen,
I was diagnosed with ALS in December 2020 and am now in the same position as you said you were.
It is well documented that there is no way of reversing the effects of the loss of motor neurones and only in some cases can the progression of the disease be slowed down.
So I am fascinated that you claim that with a formula from herbal gardens you say that you have reversed the symptoms of ALS, I am sorry but that just does not seem feasible.
If this was so then I am sure that everyone who has this terrible disease would have heard about it now.
Regards,
David Pownall.

My mom ALS started out with a foot drop on her left foot. From there her left leg lost all muscle tone and all the entire left leg muscles were almost gone. Also her fingers and thumbs “contract” at times. Left arm is losing muscle tone too,she have been suffering from amyotrophic laterals sclerosis (ALS) disease for the last seven years and had constant pain which really get us worried, especially in her knees, the only treatment for this ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is natural organic treatments honestly ,Multivitamin Herbal Care has the perfect herbal remedy to Motor Neuron Disease including,getting into bed was also another thing she finds impossible. We had to find a better solution for her condition which has really helped her a lot,The biggest help we had was multivitamincare orgThey walked us through the proper steps, I highly recommend these herbs to anyone suffering from ALS.
We have to give a try on herbal supplements which effectively get rid of herbal ALS condition dramatically after 15 weeks of her usage,she lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took her off the riluzole (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started her on the ALS natural herbal formula we ordered. it is advisable to always try natural herbs at first because multivitamincare. org neutralizes her ALS/MND which surprises everyone at home.
It’s really helpful to find out that medicinal marijuana can help aid in slowing the progression of ALS in the body. It sounds like a really effective way of helping someone cope and potentially deal with the condition. I’ll have to keep this in mind with my sister who was diagnosed with ALS recently. A friend suggested that she try marijuana as a solution so I had to do my research on it, I’m glad that it looks to be more than just a wives’ tale. I’ll have to ask my doctor for a medicinal marijuana prescription and hopefully, it can work in treating my sister.
My husband had MND ALS, first symptom was weakness in his fingers, one day, we had a dream life with early retirement and then, when we went to find out about the weakness, our whole world almost changed. There are so many things that can be said abt the suffering and frustration of people with ALS, we look back now and realize in many ways how lucky we were to found Multivitamin herbal cure that was able to get rid of my husband ALS disease totally, we had time to enjoy life and above all we all had time to also share this great testimony , many people lose loved ones without closure. I can’t imagine going thru all that you or your family had to live with daily, do not hesitate to contact w w w multivitamincare .org for ALS cure.❤💙💚
My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2011, but were diagnosed in 2013. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn’t walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Dr Okosun herbal center, It has made a tremendous difference for me via email: drokosun55@gmail.com
I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others. DR Okosun treatment is the best treatment ever, please try and contact him for any kind of virus or disease.
