The  health benefits of marijuana are now supported with scientific studies on real medical marijuana patients. These studies have clearly established benefits of marijuana, however, the plant still remains listed under Federal
law as a Schedule 1 drug since 1970.

 

A Schedule 1 listing means that the government recognizes no medical marijuana
uses or applications for it’s effects, and that it has high potential for abuse. Doctors are unable to prescribe drugs with Schedule 1 listings under Federal Law. Other drugs listed as

Schedule 1 are Heroin, LSD, and Opiates.

Many years ago marijuana was an accepted part of our culture. In the early years of the 19th century about 50% of our medicines derived from cannabis extracts. At that time marijuana was more than legal, it was encouraged to be grown.

Even Queen Victoria used marijuana extracts to relieve menstrual cramps.

Benefits Of Marijuana

 

The truth is that there are hundreds of marijuana benefits, and medical marijuana uses, but our federal government has ulterior motives in keeping marijuana illegal because it’s superiority over other resources and their competition in the market place.

Whether that be a fact or not, recent studies have concluded that smoking marijuana is more responsive than many other medications when treating a variety of illnesses.

Smoking marijuana has proven to be most effective in treating the progression of MS, and it’s associated spasms

marijuana, so why would we prevent them from experiencing the medical marijuana uses.

 

These people are not the only one’s who can experience the health benefits of marijuana. Reports from patients and daily users are finding more and more applications for it’s uses.

Currently it is up to the state government to stipulate the guidelines of the accepted medical marijuana uses, and its critical that they remain open to all the possibilities because the health benefits of marijuana are undeniable.

Negative Effects of Marijuana.

 

Since the evolution of modern day medicine the use of marijuana as a medicine has been neglected. People feel that
the negative effects of marijuana smoke outweigh its pharmacological value.

detrimental effects upon frequent use. In some MS patients it has been said that marijuana is more likely to cause depression, and slowed psychomotor functions, resulting in more emotional problems.
