Marijuana - What are the Health Benefits?

This has been the big issue in California these days. Marijuana as an effective medicine for various conditions. How does marijuana help people? Read more . . . . .

Marijuana is an effective treatment for several serious medical conditions. 13 states that I know of have taken steps to legalize medical marijuana. But Federal Laws still make it a crime to possess or use marijuana, whether it's for recreational or medical purposes.

Here are the health benefits of marijuana according to medical marijuana expert John P. Morgan, M.D.

Marijuana has been clinically proven to be excellent therapy for:

1. Nausea and vomiting. People undergoing cancer treatment can get fast relief from these common side effects of chemotherapy.

2. Muscle spasms. Marijuana can relieve spasms in mulitple sclerosis patients and individuals with spinal cord injuries.

3. Glaucoma. Marijuana reduces pressure within the eyes. It can help prevent eye damage as well as discomfort.

4. AIDS-related "wasting." Marijuana is an excellent appetite stimulant. It can reverse malnutrition and the extreme weight loss (cachexia) associated with AIDS. Anecdotal evidence suggests that marijuana helps with migraines, insomnia and chronic pain.

One may ask, "Given these benefits, why isn't medical marijuana widely used?" Along with heroin and LSD, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I substance. That means that is it considered dangerous and without medical value. Reclassifying it as a Schedule II drug would allow doctors to prescribe it under controlled conditions.

But until federal laws change, the average patient considers marijuana too risky, and the average doctor is unwilling to recommend it.

Regular smokers of marijuana tend to develop a tolerance to the high provided by using marijuana. I was reading where few people who use medical marijuana rarely develop a physical or psychological dependance on it. There was a study where researchers found marijuana was no more addictive than caffeine.
