marijuana is marijuana. medical marijuana is the same plant as any marijuana you would find on the street accept it was grown in a lab. medical marijuana you would receive from a doctor will not have been laced with other drugs, which however unlikely it may be, is a risk of buying "street-marijuana".

Cannabis will not cure cancer. Rather, it acts as an effective sedative and painkiller, thus making treatment more bearable. Pure THC will not produce the same effect, as there are many other chemicals which also seem to involved in the optimal effect.

There is a debate as to the use of marijuana in cancer patients. The use would be to make them comfortable. It will not change the outcome.

You can even get addicted to the medicines present in your first aid box.

You will not be addicted unless you take it as a medicine only.
