Smoking Marijuana: The Health Benefits !

Many people say that cannabis has no medical value when smoked. Let this tale finally stop. Is smoking weed good for you? Well…. It depends

Marijuana smoking has many health benefits, which are:

1. Cancer

There are many people who say that smoking marijuana can cause lung cancer because it inhales smoke, like cigarettes. This is simply not true. Cigarette smoke causes cancer because tobacco emits radiation, while marijuana does not. In fact, the American Cancer Society has found that marijuana actually works to significantly slow the growth of tumours in the lungs, chest and brain. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm



2. Seizures

Marijuana is a muscle relaxant and has "antispasmodic" properties that have been shown to be a very effective treatment for seizures. There are truly countless cases of people suffering from seizures that have been significantly reduced with marijuana use.

3. Migraines

Since marijuana drugs were legalized in California, doctors say they have the potential to treat more than 300,000 cases of migraines that conventional medicine could not.

4. Glaucoma

Marijuana treatment of glaucoma is one of the best documented. There is not a single valid study that disproves the potent effect of marijuana on glaucoma patients. http://www.eyecareamerica.org/eyecare/treatment/alternative-therapies/marijuana-glaucoma.cfm

5. Multiple Sclerosis

The effect of marijuana on patients with multiple sclerosis became more documented when former TV presenter Montel Williams started smoking to treat his MS. With the use of Marijuana, he managed to stop the neurological effects and muscle spasms that resulted from the deadly disease. http://insciences.org/article.php?article_id=4963

6. Tourette Syndrome and OCD

Just like marijuana, can treat seizures and multiple sclerosis, the effects of marijuana slow tics in people suffering from Tourette's syndrome, and persistent neurological symptoms in people with OCD http : //preventdisease.com/news/articles/marjuana_tourettes.shtml

7. ADD and ADHD

A well-documented USC study shows that marijuana is not only a perfect alternative to Ritalin but also treats the disorder without any of the negative side effects of the medication.

8. IBS and Crohn's Disease

Marijuana has been shown to help with the symptoms of chronic illness by stopping nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.



9. Alzheimer's

The Scripps Institute, in 2006, demonstrated that the marijuana-containing THC is ideal for preventing Alzheimer's disease by blocking the deposits in the brain that cause the disease. http://www.scripps.edu/news/press/080906.html

10. Premenstrual Syndrome

Just like marijuana is used to treat IBS, it can also be used to treat cramps and discomfort. Marijuana use for PMS actually goes back to the days of Queen Victoria.

The germination process can take up to two weeks but is extremely simple, and requires mostly basic conditions like water, air and a pleasant temperature. Although cannabis seeds are known to be very strong and resilient and therefore can germinate in almost any soil and under any conditions, there are 4 main methods and a number of recommended tips for a successful germination process: The natural life cycle of the cannabis plant begins, like any other plant, from being a small seed waiting to germinate and take root in the soil to grow and flower. This is therefore the first step in the path of any beginning cannabis grower (after the set-up train ) and also of veteran growers who prefer not to work with cuttings. The first thing to know about sprouting cannabis seeds is that you usually do not have to d...

One of the most widely used psychotropic herbs, marijuana has a wide range of positive and negative effects on the body. Far from any dogma that considers its use "diabolical" but also "akaki", we have gathered the main - so far - scientific evidence that demonstrates both its benefits and its negative effects. What is marijuana and how does it work? It is a plant that contains certain molecules called cannabinoids. The most popular of these is tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC. This is the main cause of the so-called "teat" caused by marijuana use. In medicine, marijuana is used to treat a number of inflammations and gastrointestinal diseases, as well as to reduce stress. Its main use is for the treatment of cancer, but not as a primary drug but as an "adjuvant". To be precise, it is used in parallel with chemotherapy as it increases the appetite, thus preventing weight loss, which is a common result of chemotherapy. Its effect on the brai...
