Answer 2

Marajuana has been used to treat pain and nausea in cancer patients and AIDS patients, however, it contains 50 to 70 percent MORE carcinogens than cigarettes and 4 times the amount of tar which is a major carcinigen and does much damage to the lungs. Marajuana also supresses the immune system and kills off T cells. Marajuana is being studied for use in treatment of depression and anxiety but it has been proven to cause depression, anxiety bouts of bipolarity and psychosis.

So, while in the short term it can offer relief from some of the symproms of the disease but ultimately it can cause other diseases and accelerate progress of the wery diseases it is used to treat.

Answer 5

In the State i live in, You can get a license for home use. I know because I have one. marijuana is not for everyone so I  tell you,if it does not agree with you, please seek council. but for myself and others, it is nothing short of a miracle.

If you  don't have a license, then you should seek one and become  aware of the 'Caregiver Farmacy's' in which knowledgeable health care people can tell you if you need the Indica or Sativa variety. Or perhaps a percentage of both.

for me; it  enlightens me out of  anxiety and depression, it is a pain aide, and enhances creativity. It will restore your appetite if you are going thru chemotherapy, have HIV/AIDS and are "wasting" and one small "toke" can ease the after effects of surgery, and it is  even a Bronchio dialator , opening  up your lungs, enabling you to  Breathe  easier and spit up Mucosa. it eases arthritis pain and will get you going and feeling more flexible/wanting to excersise as opposed to just laying there.

Also; we would not be cutting down our rain forest trees;needed for planet earth oxygen, in search of paper, and other wood products, if we used the canibis plant. I am so happy i live in California, where it is practically decriminalized.

After all it is a mother earth plant, said to be used by Jesus Christ himself.

I know some out there will disagree, but I believe it is God's Natural pain aide.

Good luck and JMHO

Answer 6

Actually, cannabis has been PROVEN to alleviate nausea, anxiety, pain, insomnia, inability to eat, and it relieves the ocular pressure associated with glaucoma.

Get the facts!!!! Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's not harmful and just because something is illegal doesn't mean it is.

Answer 7

Cannabis is a miracle sent from God just think when the the Indians had to deal with the devil him self they had cannabis to get them through that s**+*. Its not right for every one and it does cause you to have mood swings when your body needs it but that's with any drug. Actually cannabis is an herb that has no major side effects it just cost money and can get very expensive depending on how much you use. People always talking about how something is illegal and this fuc**** country was built on illegal activity so the best I can tell you is if you wanna feel better, pick up an appetite, say fu** everything, fight off a lot of mental illnesses, deal with life better, be in a better mood instantly and not have to wait for a man made drug to kick in then go for it. Just watch out for them haters that be hateing on cannabis cause they cant do it. GOOD LUCK
