This 2010 paper talks about how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) lacks significantly effective therapies, and argues for clinical trials with cannabis. The authors note that cannabis has "powerful antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects," all of which would be needed for an effective ALS treatment. They are also of the opinion that cannabis has the potential to manage ALS symptoms such as insomnia and muscle pain.
