What are the benefits of marijuana?

Answer 1

Medical marijuana can help people with a wide variety of medical problems. The natural herb is a good remedy for people with anxiety, depression, glaucoma, chronic pain, and anorexia. It now is also known to help with many other medical issues. I suggest you try wiki or another site that you trust to look up other medical uses of marijuana.

Answer 2

Marijuana usage and hemp usage are often confused, but the the use of hemp for fiber can be overshadowed by its ability to produce crops of oil bearing seeds, while still yielding fiber. you could pay taxes until early 1900's with hemp. Marijuana has a # of medical recognized purposes and the relief of suffering and pain is primary to marijuana usage. Ironically one needs the seeds, and the other doesn't. It also has been smoked so people can remember at least one plant on international/global significance. Some say they use it to commune with the spirit.

Answer 3

Can help towards many diseases, these are three of them:

Alzheimer's disease: (Alzheimer's patients have a reduced amount of the substance acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in many of our nervous systems A neurotransmitter is simply the message which is sent by neurons. When there is a lack of acetylcholine a hole in the communication within the brain occurs. THC which is one of the 60 cannabinoids present in marijuana acts as an enzyme inhibitor towards the enzyme which increases the rate of which acetylcholine is broken down. )

Cancer: (Marijuana doesn't increase the risk of getting lung cancer, researchers have discussed the possibility that THC causes cells to die before they have become cancerous. However, it has been proven that THC prevents cancer tumours from spreading. Breast cancer: the cannabinoid CBD works by blocking the activity of a gene which is said to cause the spreading of cancer tumours. Brain cancer: THC kills cancerous cells in the brain by making the cells feed upon themselves but it leaves the normal cells intact. Scientists do not know what causes this reaction. )

HIV/AIDS: (For HIV marijuana works as a pain killer. Marijuana relives pain by altering the way which receptors in the limbic system act and process information. The limbic system is a part of the brain which among others is one of the three parts which processes pain. THC is the substance in marijuana which is the reason to why this happens. The THC attaches to the neurons in the brain and affects the communication between them. Most often THC makes the message become the opposite of what it was from the beginning. This is why we don't feel pain in the same way after smoking marijuana. )
