What Are the Health Benefits of Medical Marijuana?
Medical marijuana is a controversial topic. In the ceaseless battle of clashing opinions among journalists, police departments, attorneys, medical doctors, social activists, and legislators, it’s all too easy to feel overwhelmed by media sensationalism and hyperbole. Unfortunately, this means the people who stand to benefit most from the use of medical marijuana— individuals who suffer from serious health conditions — are never given the chance to make informed decisions based on fact and evidence.
In truth, numerous studies published in renowned, peer-reviewed medical journals such as Neurology, Rheumatology, Annals of Internal Medicine, the American Journal of Clinical Oncology, and the British Journal ofClinical Pharmacology have all documented significant health benefits associated with the use of medicinal Cannabis across a wide range of ages, races, genders, and health conditions.
