Marijuana as Medicine
Marijuana medicines have played a role in human culture for thousands of years. The active ingredients in the marijuana plant make it beneficial for many different medical conditions. It is a safe, effective, and most importantly, a natural remedy that has proven to be helpful in treating pain afflictions, combating nausea, assisting in digestion, limiting seizures, increasing appetites, and more.
T HC is the most recognized in a group of cannabinoids and constituents found in marijuana. It has shown to be neuroprotective, reduce the aggressiveness of several cancers, and in its raw form is both antimicrobial and an antioxidant. Most of the other cannabinoids are found in smaller but varying quantities, and have virtually no effect upon the âhighâ or euphoric effect, other than perhaps CBD. Cannabidiol, or CBD, does mitigate the sometimes dysphoric (unwanted or uncomfortable) effects and can reduce the âmind highâ. CBD has shown to greatly improve the âbody effectsâ by binding to CB2 receptors that are found predominately in body organs and muscle tissue, helping those patients that suffer from muscle spasms and disorders. CBD also has therapeutic value because of its anti-inflammatory activities, is neuroprotective, and reduces metastasis in breast cancer. THC and CBN bind to the CB1 receptors in the brain, which affect the uptake of serotonin. This is why marijuana can relieve many physical and environmental stresses, and provide a better quality of life.
Because the federal government has so drastically limited marijuana research, there are very few clinical trials on whole plant marijuana. What is known is that hundreds of thousands of patients have confirmed that this plant benefits their medical condition and many use it regularly to relieve symptoms.
