Marijuana is Medicine



In addition to the effectiveness as pain relief and no relation to cancer, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws NZ (NORML) supports the fact that cannabis is also effective as an antiemetic (anti-nausea) for cancer chemotherapy and AIDS drug therapy which often result in frequent nausea and vomiting. Cannabis also stimulates appetite, it helps patients with anorexic problems after such therapies to gain weight and live a better life.  

What is more, the herb helps neurological conditions to improve their motor sense. For example, the patients who suffer from multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson and spinal cord injury can benefit from the substance. The active substituent THC of cannabis even reduces the chance of brain damage resulting from stroke.

  1. Hi, Love!
    I didn't know cannabis can be used as pain relief because I have been taught only bad aspects of cannabis in my school days.
    Your blog is informative and well-organised so far, and I'm looking forward to reading rest of it.

  2. Thanks for your comments Naho,

    I had been also kind of trained to believe that only bad people would smoke marijuana and it was harmful. I agree with the expert of pharmacology mentioned on the video below, there will be no drug with none-hassles, but marijuana is relatively very safe medicine.

  3. I Too didn't really realise also that cannabis was used quite a bit in the medical field until quite recently where. Your research has been really informative on the subject and have given readers a better understanding of the subject in the medical field.
