Celebrate National MS Awareness Week

Celebrate National MS Awareness Week: Become a Member of ASA's MS Union This week, thousands of people surviving Multiple Sclerosis are celebrating National MS Awareness Week by taking action to find a cure. During Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week we are encouraging medical cannabis supporters who have been affected by MS to sign up to become a member of ASA's MS Union and help us spread the word about medical cannabis by contacting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society at www.NationalMSSociety.org. The Multiple Sclerosis Union works with Americans for Safe Access to distribute important research information, work with condition-based organizations to support patients' right to cannabis in lieu of failed alternatives, and advocate for safe, legal access to marijuana for all patients who need it. The MS Union is open to MS patients who use medical cannabis, caregivers, family members, researchers, physicians, and other health providers who support the use of medical cannabis. Many MS patients report that cannabis has a startling and profound effect on muscle spasms, tremors, balance, bladder control, speech and eyesight. Many wheelchair-bound patients report that they can walk unaided when they have smoked cannabis. Please take action today to support medical cannabis and Multiple Sclerosis. Become a member of ASA's MS Union today! If you are already a member of ASA's MS Union, celebrate MS Awareness Week by reaching out to other MS groups, such as the National MS Society and tell them how medical cannabis has helped you treat symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis.
