ALS / Lou Gehrig's Disease

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is a progressive and degenerative disease that causes the death of the neurons and results in loss of muscle movement. Early medical marijuana studies show that cannabis may not only help symptoms, but also slow progression of ALS.
