Medical marijuana is available in ⅔ of the country.
Many states have actually legalized recreational marijuana as well. There are millions of people using medical marijuana for a number of ailments, but the government has only approved marijuana for two forms of epilepsy. Not a lot of research has been performed on marijuana, because it is considered a schedule 1 drug. Marijuana is in the same category as ecstasy, heroin, LSD, and cocaine. In order to study the product, researchers need a special license. Over the past 10 years, researchers have found many different uses for medical marijuana. It can be used to treat medical conditions and diseases. Medical marijuana has been proven to treat Alzheimer’s, cancer, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, seizures, and MS. It has also been proven to help with anorexia, appetite loss, muscle spasms, nausea, and pain. The cannabinoids inside of the plant are similar to the chemicals inside of our body that help with memory, pain, movement, and appetite. I have been using medical marijuana for the past three years. It absolutely helps me deal with the pain and inflammation I feel from fibromyalgia. There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but the symptoms can be greatly reduced with the help of products like medical marijuana. I was diagnosed with the disease and the first thing my doctor wanted to do was give me a pill for pain. I didn’t want my sleep and mood affected by a prescription, so I chose a healthier and non-habit-forming route. Medical marijuana helps me deal with the daily pains, while still allowing me to live my life.
