About this ebook

It has been widely documented that the use of marijuana has been used to help with seizures, pain, and nausea from several diseases. The FDA is yet to recognize the marijuana plant as medicine simply because not enough clinical trials support it as a finding. However, according to the National Institute of Health, two FDA-approved medications that contain cannabinoid chemicals are available in pill form. This relevant volume examines how various forms of marijuana have been used throughout history to treat illnesses, how marijuana works to heal various ailments in the present day, and dissects the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Ratings and reviews

I wish someone who was very much against the marijuana use due to the smell I have bad asthma and my doctor told me that's not going to help me with my primary care doctor decided that she was going to stop being a primary care and open her own marijuana office lo and behold I've had after 2 months of using the marijuana I had my lungs retested and I am 118% better so as far as I'm concerned the the medical marijuana is a hit with me I use the electronic cigarette with it and I feel 100% better

I agree 100% plants over pills. I've been doing the pain management for 20 years my anxiety control my life which I didn't have before the pills came along due to three back surgeries & no relief so I turned to pain management & I have a great doctor & he agrees with CBD products but he follows the guide lines of the laws. When I smoked 20 years ago no anxiety pain was somewhat tallerable you can't smoke while you're at a pain management program so I'm going to try the CBD oils & hopefully get rid of some of the side effects of the pills & just maybe Mary Jane will be legal in the coming years for a trade off for pain pills.

I have bad sezures and alot of pain if I took the drugs they want me 2 id be dead. Weed stoped my sezures and took 60% of my pain away im in maryland and have docs permishion to puff but need good stuff......HELP
