    The benefits of cannabis are incredible. There are definite reasons that it is outlawed. Not good reasons but reasons none-the-less. If it were legalized, responsibly studied, and applied, health care would drastically change for the better. Yet, this simple plant terrifies the pharmaceutical and medical community. A few days ago i saw an article on a medical website about the "horrors" of marijuana. The article didn't have any credible source.

    When I smoked marijuana as a youth, it made my memory worse and it prevented me from doing my best; so I stopped. Unless one is in great pain, I recommend that no one start using it.

      This is a very ignorant thing to say. One may abuse anything including, food, sex, sleep, and exercise. I’ve used cannabis off and on for 20 years and like anything, it must be used sensibly even though it is not physically dangerous. Staying “baked” all day long will surely affect how you understand time and also what info is recorded and how it’s recalled. This is also dependent on the strain of cannabis used. Some are more wakeful and stimulating, others are calming and relaxing. Cannabis is one of the most amazing medicinal plants on the planet! Until we stop this ignorant view and the unrealistic stereotype of all users being burned out stoners, we will never see the full potential of this gift. Is everyone who drinks an alcoholic? Not everyone who uses cannabis is a “pot head”.

  3. I've been using medical Marijauna for more than a month now for fibromyalgia and mostly for depression. My depression is gone and only use is once a day for the depression sometimes I have to use it more for the physical pain but it really takes the edge off. I am happy most of the time now and I am not getting high with the amount I am doing and my memory is improving since I have gotten off the pharmaceutical pain meds

    1. Two years ago i tryed something a person told me about.I mixed a cannabis tea with hemp oil.I took a tablespoon in the morning and the same in the evening for five days.I was diagnosed with arthritis in my knees and fibromyalgia.The third day of the regimn i was doing my arthritis and fibromyalgia went away.I took a chance and a miracle took place.I haven't done another treatment since the one i did two years ago.There are numourous ways to use this marijuana as a cure or a treatment.The way i used this stuff did not make me high in the least.Every year i get a blood test and the doctor hasn't even asked how the fibromyalgia or the arthritis is doing.This goes to show you how little doctors care about their patients.

    When my mother was at the end stages of life with Alzheimers, hospice put her on morphine and Ativan for the pain and panic attacks she was having. She was on these drugs for two weeks and fighting them the whole time. In desperation I tried some MMJ tincture under her tongue one morning. Within minutes it was evident she relaxed. The second day I gave her another dropperful under her tongue. She sat up in bed, something she had not been able to do for quite some time, and told me "You signed me up too early!", meaning for hospice. She never had any of the morphine or Ativan again after that. In fact she never again took any other meds at all except her levothyroxine. She lived another eight months, very comfortable with no pain and no more panic attacks, and remarkably lucid for an Alzheimer's patient. I will always wonder what effect the MMJ would have had on the Alzheimer's had I started using it sooner in the disease. This is real medicine folks!

    In reply to Eliot W. Collins,
    You are not supposed to smoke it , ingest it as a food through the mouth.

    Since marijuana causes loss of memory function attaching itself to memory receptors in the brain these studies that show it helps with altzheimers are highly suspicious to say the least. Even celebrities like Brad Pitt are finally recognizing the damaging long term effects of sustained usage of this so called non toxic drug. You have been sold a bill of goods by the make mary jane legal crowd. The recent studies which have been done now that scientists can actually look at the brain and its reactions to the drug are far from labeling it benign they label it a terrorist drug that basically takes over your brain. Ask anyone who has been a long term user how easy it is to stop using and ask about the long term effects on their memories.

  8. I am not a Dr. but a caregiver for my wife who is now 62 and is in later stages–this I know–when she gets agitated/anxious/nothing right and her face says don´t even start with me–one puff off the pipe changes everything in 5 seconds–the world is right and good for her!!!where-ever that is….I will stick with this less invasive “medication”
