Medical Marijuana


Marijuana has been used for medical purposes since its first findings in ancient china. Its medicinal purposes are indispensable. It has been shown to be effective in reducing the nausea induced by cancer chemotherapy. It also stimulates appetite in AIDS patients, and reduces interocular pressure in people with glaucoma. This means that it reduces the amount of pressure in there eyes which reduces pain in the eyes and headaches. There is also a considerable amount of evidence that shows that marijuana reduces muscle spasticity in patients with neurological disorders. There are legal ways of consuming THC like a synthetic capsule that is available by prescription, but it is not as effective as marijuana for many patients. Pure THC can also produce unpleasant psychoactive side effects marijuana doesn't. Many people today use marijuana as a medicine, despite its illegality. In doing so, they risk arrest and imprisonment.
