Neuroscience Cafe

Cannabis as Medicine

Join us each month as UAB neuroscientists and clinicians present and discuss how neuroscience research is improving life in your community.

Studies report that medical cannabis has possible benefit for several conditions. State laws vary in which conditions qualify people for treatment with medical marijuana. Depending on the state, you may qualify for treatment with medical marijuana if you meet certain requirements and have a qualifying condition, such as:

·         Alzheimer's disease

·         Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

·         HIV/AIDS

·         Cancer

·         Crohn's disease

·         Epilepsy and seizures

·         Glaucoma

·         Multiple sclerosis and muscle spasms

·         Severe and chronic pain

·         Severe nausea

Join us as UAB’s Jerzy Szaflarski, MD, PhD Professor of Neurology gives us the latest information on the use of Cannabis as medicine.

 This UAB CNC Neuroscience Café is a virtual event in collaboration with the Birmingham area libraries and nearby communities, including UA and AU.
