While hotly debated, marijuana does reduce the neurological pain that MS patients feel better than the toxic, highly addictive (yet somehow still legal) manufactured drugs like OxyContin. It also reduces nausea felt by chemotherapy patients, and it also reduces intraocular pressure that cataract patients feel.

Some forward-thinking states have allowed medical uses of marijuana by allowing doctors to prescribe its use within that state. Sadly, medical marijuana users can still be prosecuted by the Federal government for illegal drug use.
