Do Medicinal Cannabis Help In Treatment Of Alopecia Areata?

Hi, I am wondering if Medicinal Cannabis has any positive effects to support patients with Alopecia Areata. I have alopecia and have been a cannabis user for a few months, and ever since I started using cannabis, my hair has been growing rapidly and thick. Would you please help me to understand what I need to get my medicinal cannabis card for alopecia?
