Cannabis has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. As recently as 1937, cannabis was listed in the American Pharmacopia, but in 1938, political agendas of greed dominated, and a Hemp Tax was established, leading to the prohibition of cannabis in the US.

 

Over the past 25 - 50 years especially, we as a People have come to realize that cannabis isn't just good for a lightheaded buzz, giggles and munchies. In fact, cannabis is extremely beneficial for patients suffering from a variety of illnesses:

 

                                                                        Lung Disease

                                  Crohn's Disease                                             Glaucoma

                                    Heart Disease                                                 Cancer

                              Neurological Diseases                                   Fibromyalgia

 

Despite having clear and documented medical benefits, the US Government has kept cannabis in the CIA Schedule I, designated for drugs with "high potential for abuse" and "little to no medical use".

 

Luckily, many States have begun the push towards Federal acceptance of cannabis as a medicine. Currently, 23 States plus the District of Columbia acknowledge and integrate cannabis into their healthcare system. Those States are as follows:

 

1. Alaska

2. Arizona

3. California

4. Colorado

5. Connecticut

6. DC

7. Delaware

8. Hawaii

9. Illinois

10. Maine

11. Maryland

12. Massachusetts

 

As opposed to common belief, cannabis smoking is an acceptable and healthy form of intake. There are no studies that have linked cannabis smoking to lung cancer or health detriments, despite what prohibitionists say. In fact, the most recent study actually showed that cannabis promoted the health of subjects' lungs when smoked.

 

SMOKED CANNABIS HAS MEDICAL BENEFITS --- IT IS NOT JUST FOR CANCER PATIENTS WHO NEED TO GAIN WEIGHT --- SMOKED CANNABIS OFFERS PAIN RELIEF AND APPETITE CONTROL, THIS IS TRUE --- IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT SMOKED CANNABIS HAS A DIRECT AND POSITIVE EFFECT ON HUMAN HEALTH.

 

Ingested cannabis is the preferred means of ingestion according to most doctors and studies verify, the higher concentrations possible in edible cannabis products allow for a much higher dose of key ingredients that fight cancer and other terminal illnesses.
