10. Treatment of Glaucoma
If you are one of the millions who have been
suffering from glaucoma, then smoking marijuana
can help you get the best eyesight and relieve
pressure from they eyes. Intraocular pressure can
increase in certain individuals, especially those
who have diabetes. Glaucoma is serious disease
that can cause blindness.

9. Manage Epileptic Seizures
People who suffer from epileptic disorders or
seizures can get tremendous relief and relaxation
from smoking marijuana.

8. Pain Reliever
Marijuana ingestion can benefit your health when
used to lessen the pain of MS, Rheumatoid
arthritis and migraines. Also those sufferers of
HIV, amputation, alcoholism and spinal surgery
who are experiencing nerve pain seem to have a
lessening of their pain when they are on a medical
marijuana treatment protocol.
Marijuana, in the 2010 Canadian study, was found
in these patients to be many more times more
effective then aspirin in limiting their perception of
pain. Medicinal marijuana is administered in more
controlled dosages, and strengths that is found
on the street. It is a stated goal of physicians to
“do no harm.” The lessening of a patient’s pain,
represents the epitome of this goal.

7. Prevents the Spread of Cancer
There is a chemical found in marijuana that has
been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Researchers believe the process is that
cannabidiol turns off the Id-1 gene. Cancer cells
duplicate this gene in higher numbers than non-
cancerous cells.
Researchers also studied breast cancer cells in
the lab that contained Id-1 in high quantities.
They were treated with cannibidiol. The result of
this treatment was a lower incidence of Id-1 and
the remaining genes were found to be less
invasive.
There have been studies done in the US, Spain
and Israel that posit that chemicals in marijuana
can actually mean the death of cancer cells.

6. THC Reduces the Growth of Alzheimer’s
THC can help to slow down the progression of
Alzheimer’s disease. A study from 2006 found
that chemicals in this drug can help keep amyloid
plaques from forming. This will help keep you
from getting this disease, and legalizing this drug
could have everything to do with finding a cure.

5. Reduces the Spread of HIV
Cannabis is highly regarded in the medical
community for it’s effectiveness in treating
patients with HIV. People who have contracted
the disease suffer from weight loss and body
aches amongst other many things however, a new
research that suggest cannabis might be able to
halt the spread of the disease altogether has
come to light. Additionally, a study was
conducted in Louisiana; in this research scientists
gave a daily dose of THC to primates who had
contracted an animal form of the HIV. Over the
course of the study, scientists found that the
damage to immune system in the primates’
stomach had decreased.

4. Relieves Arthritis Pain
Marijuana will help with rheumatoid arthritis pain,
swelling and allow them to have restful sleep
.According to a 2011 study, where a cannabis
based pain killer was given to rheumatoid
arthritic patients, there was a marked decrease in
observable pain, compared to the administration
of a placebo.
Rheumatoid arthritis can be an extremely
debilitating disease, striking the joints of the
affected patients. The subsequent swelling causes
a reduction in the range of motion. But this kind
of arthritis is different than osteoarthritis, the kind
one gets with old age. RA is an autoimmune
disease, meaning in effect your body is attacking
healthy cells. Any age group can get it, and any
gender, but women are stricken the most.

3. Slows Metabolism, Helps with Weight Loss
Another use for medicinal marijuana is
stimulating appetite. Recent studies by the
National Cancer Institute indicate that the
inhalation of cannabis can lead to an increased
consumption of calories. Conversely, studies
published in the American Journal of Medicine
suggested that pot smokers are skinnier than the
average person. They studied their levels of the
hormone insulin and their blood sugar levels, and
even though marijuana users consume more
calories, they tend to have a healthier metabolism
and a better reaction to sugars. The study
analyzed data from more than 4,500 adult
Americans — 579 of whom were current
marijuana smokers, meaning they had smoked in
the last month. About 2,000 had used marijuana
in the past, while another 2,000 had never used
the drug.

2. Calms Tremors in Parkinson’s Patients
Research has shown for patients suffering from
the debilitating disease Parkinson, smoking pot
can help reduce pain and tremors. It has been
show to increase sleep quality as well as
improving fine motor skills. Much of this research
has been conducted in Israel.
Being able to release muscle tension, is another
benefit of medical marijuana. A study done by the
American Cancer Society shows that patients
suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS), who used
a liquid form of cannabis, encountered a reduced
in muscle spasms as well shaking.
Another study done on eight MS patients, in
advanced stages, showed a reduction in tremors
and muscle stiffness.

1. Helps Veterans Afflicted with PTSD
Marijuana is a safer and less harmful alternative
to traditional PTSD treatment. The relaxing effect
marijuana has on the user without the fuzzy
mental state caused by antidepressants can allow
soldiers to relieve their anxiety without having to
feel medicated. Antidepressants and other drugs
prescribed for PTSD possess a high risk for
addiction and are not recommended for use over
long periods of time. Marijuana use can fluctuate,
wane, or increase depending on the state of the
patient with little no side effects based upon the
amount of usage. There are no conclusive studies
that indicate marijuana is addicting in the
traditional sense of drug addiction such as
substances with opiates. Marijuana may be the
safest anti depressant on the market.

Conclusion: Marijuana when smoked moderately causes no negetive effects unless smoked in high doses at a time.This is quite normal as all medications come with specific dosage requirements.
Research has been conducted on this matter with no links to death or ill mental health,for this reason there has been revolution to legalize marijuana use as a recreational drug as at 2015. Currently many have decriminalized its use e.g about 4 states in America,Germany,Argentina,mexico e.t.c with more countries joining the league. All stigmas relating to marijuana use should be made desolate and more interest entailed to the discovery of its other beneficial uses.
