Montel Williams has publicly spoken up about the benefits of medical cannabis—the former talk-show host and health advocate uses the plant to treat the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. He’s not slowing down any time soon. Williams recently spoke with The Huffington Post to discuss MMJ. “[Marijuana] is like any other plant-based medicine,” he told HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin. Williams also called for the government and pharmaceutical industry to back research into cannabis compounds to come up with “quality medication.” On a related note, the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry published a report last year on how cannabis extracts can help relieve the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, such as painful muscle stiffness. Ninety percent of MS sufferers are estimated to experience this type of stiffness. A 2012 Canadian medical journal published a study that demonstrated similar results.
