Marijuana has been used for medicinal purposes for over 4,000 years.
Manuscripts from ancient India confirm that marijuana's psychoactive properties were used by doctors for treating a variety of ailments and illnesses, including gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, insomnia and as a pain reliever during childbirth.
Even in modern medicine, marijuana was found to be so useful and promising, that in the 1970s, a synthetic version of THC, the active ingredient of marijuana, was synthesized to manufacture the drug Marinol.
However, because of the prohibition of marijuana, mostly due to the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries, as well as anti-drug activists and religious crusaders, the use of both marijuana and Marinol as a medicine was restricted.
Only recently, because of the continued success of treatment, studies and trials including marijuana, has government legislation made both marijuana and Marinol more available to patients. Patients are now finally able to apply for personal possession and even a limited cultivation license.
Just check out the success ratios recorded from studies by Daily Strength in the chart bellow!
| CONDITION | MEMBERS | SUCCESS |
|---|---|---|
| Chronic Pain | 654 | 86% |
| Depression | 55 | 96% |
| Bipolar Disorder | 44 | 95% |
| Anxiety | 32 | 94% |
| Fibromyalgia | 24 | 100% |
| Multiple Sclerosi... | 23 | 100% |

Studies to Discover the Full Potential of Marijuana's Benefits
Its time we put aside old bias and prejudices and study marijuana with all our resources, so we can harness the full potential of its benefits!
Already scientists, researchers and doctors have discovered a wide range of benefits unequaled by any other natural or chemical medication, ever. Period.
No other medication or herb offers relief from symptoms like these:
- Relief of muscle spasms
- Relief of chronic pain
- Reduction in interlobular pressure inside the eye
- Suppression of nausea
- Weight loss - increase and restore metabolism
No other medication or herb offers treatment from a wide variety of diseases like these:
- AIDS - Marijuana can reduce the nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting from the condition itself and the medications as well.
- Glaucoma - Marijuana relieves the internal eye pressure of glaucoma, and therefore relieving the pain and slowing or even stopping the condition.
- Cancer- Many side effects of the medication to stop cancer can be relieve with Marijuana, some studies suggest that Marijuana tends to slow down the progress of some types of cancer.
- Multiple Sclerosis - Muscle pain, spasticity, tremors and unsteadiness are some of the effects caused by the disease that can be relieved by Marijuana.
- Epilepsy - in some patients, epileptic seizures can be prevented with Marijuana use.
- Chronic pain - Marijuana helps to alleviate the pain caused from many types of injuries and disorders.
- Anxiety, Depression or Obsession - Even though mild anxiety is a common side effect in some users, cannabis can elevate your mood and expand the mind
Joan Bello, author of The Benefits of Marijuana, wrote, "with the expansiveness that occurs with marijuana, the subject may begin to notice infinite possibilities to raise the quality of his/her life that would otherwise have remained hidden from normal, defensive consciousness. And feelings of health and happiness naturally lead to hope, which of itself can be curative."
Many obsessions or quick fixes to psychological problems can be alleviated by Marijuana as well. Many people eat because they're depressed. If the depression is treated, the obsession to eat should be gone as well.
Any of these phycological conditions can be treated by a psychiatrist; marijuana should be an alternative therapy, used in conjunction with psychiatric therapy.
Physical Addictions
There have been testimonies from opiate users that report an easing of addiction cravings. Some cannabinoids in cannabis are believed to have similar effects as ibogaine, a medication used to treat heroin addiction.
The cannabinoids in Marijuana mimic the healing effects of a naturally occurring chemical in the brain called Anandimide. However, this naturally occurring cannabinoid also produces the negative effects that one would experience from high concentrations of cannabinoids in marijuana.
Medical marijuana can benefit psychologically and spiritually.
Marijuana can be used to enhance personal Spirituality. The herb tends to reveal your true self. It uncovers inner confusion and reveals your true direction - if you let it. Marijuana offers an effect that is both energizing and relaxing at the same time. This balanced effect will help some to think more clearly and more efficiently afterwards.
Joan Bello writes,"Marijuana will not tolerate repression. Tranquillizers and depressants relax the body and release tension, but the state of mind associated with these drugs is 'unconsciousness' whereby we escape rather than resolve our dilemmas. Alcoholism is an extreme need of both the body and personality sometimes to release the nervousness that has accumulated and continues to build up to an unbearable degree. It serves the same function for the collective personality for the society, as well A culture in which alcohol and tranquillizers are the prevalent form of release prefers not to witness internal confusion and actually choose to act without conscious participation, maintaining a semi-numb condition."
Cannabis also acts as an antispasmodic and anticonvulsant and is indicated for neurological conditions such as epilepsy especially complex partial seizures, multiple sclerosis, and spasms. As an analgesic and an immunomodulator it is indicated for conditions such as migraine, arthritis, spinal and skeletal disorders.
As a bronchodilator it is beneficial for asthma. It also reduces the intraocular pressure and is indicated for glaucoma.
It is useful in treating premenstrual syndrome, hypertension, insomnia, constipation and alcohol hangovers.
Marinol, is now becoming widely available through prescription. It comes in the form of a pill and is also being studied by researchers for suitability via other delivery methods, such as an inhaler or patch. The active ingredient of Marinol is synthetic THC, which has been found to relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy for cancer patients and to assist with loss of appetite with AIDS patients.
Recent studies have shown marijuana to be effective in treating mood disorders and mental health issues such as depression, post traumatic stress disorder, clinical depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and bipolar disorder.
When will lawmaker stop listening to religious crusaders and self-righteous fanatics to do what is right, in legalizing a natural herb that can potentially cure, or at least help millions from suffering needlessly?
When will lawmaker stop listening to those who profit from keeping marijuana illegal and do what is right, in legalizing a natural herb that has been used in societies longer than this society has even existed?
Do you believe that marijuana is a legitimate medicine? Do you believe it should be legalized? Please leave your opinions in the form of a comment bellow. My Health-be readers and I would really like to know what you think about America's (and the world's) marijuana policies.

Interesting info on marijuana. I have a friend who would agree with the study saying it helps chronic pain. I have another friend who would not but that's probably because she's afraid to try it!
ReplyDeleteQuick correction:
ReplyDeleteIbogaine is not a medication for drug addiction. It a schedule I drug, which means the US government has deemed that it has no medical value. Even though it has a high success rate for treating addiction in numerous studies, it is not a legal treatment in the US.
dude fuck yeah everything about this page is awesome
ReplyDeleteYou should probably mention the downside to medical marijuana, that people who have these disorders don't just want to get high all the time, and no strain of marijuana used for medicinal purposes has ever been able to be effective for those conditions without causes cognitive deficits (such as memory loss and functional inabilities) or gets you high all the time. Not that it doesn't have potential, but you should stay fair with weighing positives and negatives
ReplyDeleteanon there needs to read up on some facts. memory loss is false.
ReplyDeletegood

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the information with us and keep up the great work on your site.
The time for man's full utiliziation of the potential of this plant is long overdue. There are so many obvious benefits and so few subtle and debatable defects. For example, studies have shown that after quitting, marijuana smokers regain the full use and efficiency of the memory and cognition parts of the brain. it is a gradual process that begins immediately after quitting. There are no proven long term effects of marijuana.

I know many people who would love to see mariijuana legalised and not for medicinal purposes either. A few years back I listened to a friend speel off about the benefits of this plant especially for cancer patients coping with pain and how it was a safer alternative to prescription drugs. So maybe it should be legalised for these purposes only.
ReplyDeletevirectin Very good post. I like that even thought I can agree with you 100%.

ReplyDeleteAmen...now if only they could make marijuana legal. Seriously, in countries where marijuana is legal like Holland you don't see everything going to hell there, making marijuana legal in the U.S.A probably wouldn't destroy the U.S.A...it would bring it to a "higher" level ;)
ReplyDeleteMarijuana could really help in so many ways.. if this is was not abuse by other people.
ReplyDeleteCannabis is just a abused...used in the right way It can be beneficial

ReplyDeletethink given that over a million people die in india every year due to tobacco itself and more than half of it due to alchohol, when the figure of deaths is set to rise atleast 5-7% every year due to more and more people getting addicted to tobacco. it will be smart to compare that with marijuana which has killed Zero people in the past 5000 years of its discovery, in time... it has 50,000 uses, ranging to medical to industrial and social benefits... how naive are we humans to ignore so many important things abt the plant for centuries, startles me... Cannabis has now discovered to not only prevent cancerous growth but also reverse or sometimes Cure them...not only this, it can give relief to upto 250 different diseases and prolong the life of a patient even during fatal diseases like epilepsy, tumour, alzeimer, cancer, and 18... other life threating fatal diseases which yet has no cure been found...Not only is it a wonder drug, it is an excellant source of protein both in kids and adults, as well as over all life expectancy and healthy body. I wonder what more has the plant to offer and this exactly should be the motto of all the scienctists to come together in india (like many other countries eg USA, EU, UK, Australia, etc) and start researching in this field of health care to help humanity, help india... Please I urge all of you to study the cannabis plant in greater detail before throwing unsubstantiated opinions about the plant, when the case should be abt discussing the facts... Best of all, it is completely non addictive unlike smoking cig, alcohol or any other drug.

nice work...
ReplyDeleteI don't live in a medical state or ever thought about using MJ for medicinal purposes ever in my life but recently thats changed. I have been in a cast with a boxers fracture for a week and I can say MJ alleviates so much discomfort and pain as compared to the Vicodin my doc prescribed me. I love and have a new outlook for MJ maybe just because it actually helped me sleep last night for the first night in 36 hours. If this isn't medicine not sure what is.
ReplyDeleteWow! such a nice video. Thanks for sharing this video.

ReplyDeleteNice healthy information you have shared here. Thank you.
ReplyDeletethis was a great artical and i couldn't stop reading it. but there is finally someone who understands and looks at all of the beifits of marijuana then just looking at the couple negatives. Besides all the good it could do medicaly it could also help our economy if the government would make it legal to anyone 18+ just like tobacco because then they can tax it and it will open up job oppritunities. Lets go out there and make it LEGAL!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyes. its true marijuana (herb) has great medicinal properties comparing to it negative effect.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good read for me. Must agree that you are one of the coolest blogger I ever saw. Thanks for posting this useful information. This was just what I was on looking for. I'll come back to this blog for sure!
