What good is marijuana for medical purpose?

Answer 1

Marijuana's cannabinoids may alleviate pain by modifying pain perception pathways in the brain. This could be beneficial in the treatment of chronic pain diseases such as Arthritis, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and migraines. It may also help to reduce the negative effects of cancer treatment, such as lack of appetite. In rare cases, medicinal marijuana has been observed to assist in the replacement of long-term usage of NSAIDs like ibuprofen.

Answer 2

Marijuana (Cannabis), is good for lots of things. Research has shown it to be very effective in the treatment of many physical and Psychological ailments. See also Dr. Lester Grinspoon's books and research on the topic. Particularly his book Marijuana: The forbidden Medicine. Dr. Grinspoon is an associate professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

It helps control the severe vomiting that some cancer patients have when undergoing chemotherapy, and it has been used to treat glaucoma, a condition where high pressure inside the eyeball causes blindness.

Answer 4

Cannabis has several medical uses, but they are poorly documented because government regulation has made it nearly impossible to conduct real scientific studies on the drug.

Cannabis relieves interocular pressure, so cataract patients find relief without debilitating chemical pain and pressure relievers. It also reduces nausea, so patients on chemotherapy will use it. And because it reduces neurological pain better than any analgesic or any other pain medication, MS patients with neurological pain will also use it.

Answer 5

In some ways, yes. Studies have shown great medicinal benefits resulting from Marijuana. There are obviously some bad points, but the good points (such as your brain cells being protected, and it calming you down) outweigh the bad. Do NOT listen to anyone else telling you otherwise. Marijuana is good, and you should try it (if you haven't already). If you don't like it, stop. Don't do it to be cool or fit in, do it because you enjoy it. Don't listen to lies and Propaganda. Listen to the truth. Weed FTW!
