Severe chronic pain is often the result of other conditions or treatments of conditions, such as chemotherapy treatment for cancer, and can be both debilitating and exhausting and many times can lead to chronic depression. While pharmaceutical drugs are available to combat pain and depression, they can be highly addictive and can often cause side effects that are just as unpleasant.

Patients who suffer from any typeof cancer regardless of type or stage qualify for a medical marijuana card in the state of Kentucky. One of the most common side effects in cancer patients tends to be nausea as a result of chemotherapy treatment, and for many patients in Kentucky, medical marijuana use is an effective tool in reducing bouts of severe nausea. For those patients who are unable to keep medication down, the inhalation of the cannabinoid drug reverses the nausea effects caused by chemotherapy treatment, as well as easing anxiety and pain related to treatment. Medical marijuana has also been found to stimulate appetite, which is effective for cancer patients who, due to nausea, have been unable to eat and are experiencing treatment-related weight loss.
Severe nausea can often be a side effect of another illness, and is one that can lead a patient toward malnourishment and exhaustion. Patients undergoing treatment for other illnesses such as cancer or Leukemia who are required to be treated with chemotherapy will often experience continued nausea to the point of being unable to ingest anything. Kentucky medical marijuana card patients have found that using the drug as part of a prescribed regimen greatly reduces symptoms of nausea and often stimulates the appetite. Nausea can be caused by a number of conditions, and the inhaled use of medical marijuana has been shown to be a more effective treatment than traditional medicines which in some cases patients may not be able to keep down.

Medical marijuana is an effective, natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs and provides both immediate and long lasting results.
Known as a neurological condition that appears in the form of seizures, epilepsy is a condition which affects the nervous system. Although seizures can also be caused by an injury to the brain or through genetic inheritance, epilepsy related seizures generally have no known cause. Kentucky medical marijuana patients may be able to control seizures through the use of the drug with fewer or no side effects generally experienced by the use of traditional medicine. Because marijuana produces a calming effect on the body, the nervous system is less likely to cause seizures. Patients who use their medical marijuana card for epileptic seizures report fewer instances of seizures with regular use.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Medical Marijuana not only helps reduce the runaway fear response in those with PTSD but has many other tangible benefits as well. Strains that are high in CBD and lower in THC often work well for people suffering from anxiety and PTSD. THC, on the other hand, sometimes increases feelings of anxiety and paranoia – Medical marijuana at least for some people have a calming effect.
Glaucoma is a condition that is caused by increased eye pressure, resulting in damage to the optic nerve and can cause eventual blindness. For glaucoma patients in Kentucky, medical marijuana use may be an effective alternative to surgery. Medical marijuana reduces pressure immediately in the eyes and the effects can last up to four or five hours. While medical marijuana will have varying degrees of effect in patients with glaucoma, adding marijuana to a treatment regimen may allow patients a secondary source of relief and perhaps eliminate the need for surgery.
