What does medical cannabis treat, and who can and should use it?

Hey Guest,

Medical marijuana is usually given to people who have all kinds of pain so I think that if his father is suffering from some pain, medical marijuana will definitely help him. It's not only used for pain of course, it is also given to people who are suffering from depression and anxiety, to people who are dealing with too much stress, to people who are suffering from multiple sclerosis but I think that the most common use for medical marijuana is instead of painkillers. Anyway, I think that marijuana is very healthy so I think that his father is going to be okay.

Hey guys,

As far as I know, cannabis is the healthiest plant on this world even though some people are still thinking that it is not healthy and it is illegal in most countries of the world. I don't know, I have started using medical marijuana a couple of years ago because of some headaches that I had and I have been smoking weed ever since. I can say that I haven't had a single health problem after I've started smoking weed, I don't know if it is really due to smoking weed but I like to think that it is.

I believe that it can indeed treat a lot of things, including cancer (this is done with marijuana oil and although it is not 100% sure that it can treat cancer, I honestly believe that it can). It is mostly used for different kinds of pain, just like others have told you already, it is also used for depression and anxiety and it is used to ease the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, as well as to ease the bad effects of chemotherapy. I don't think that it has any bad side effects, I think that is the best thing about marijuana. 

I think that it is good for everything even though important people don't want to admit it. If they would admit that medical marijuana is good for almost everything, they would lose so much money because people wouldn't be buying the products that they are selling in the pharmacies (which I actually think are worthless and good for nothing) but instead would be buying weed and getting better in a completely natural way. Some people agree with me and some don't but I think that my point is right and that medical marijuana can be used to treat almost everything out there.

Yes, but we should not forget about side - effects that this can cause to us. I agree that this is helpful, but we all do know that every story has two different sides. I know that a lot of people are feeling much better after using cannabis, especially if they are dealing with epilepsy, but we nee to be aware of certain facts. Marijuana in general has a number of effects depending on how it is ingested. For example, if smoked, the risk factors associated with smoking apply to marijuana. That is just one of the side - effects. Increased appetite and memory problems have also been reported after using it. 

Hi Stressed or depressed. I need to tell you that I totally do agree with you. I am not saying that this can't help you because it can, and I have proved it on my own skin. I am still using medical marijuana and I am satisfied with it, but I think that it is a great idea to tell people what they can expect from medical pot, especially at the beginning. When I started to use it, I had some of the side - effects. For example, I was really sleepy all the time, I had diarrhea as well. Decreased appetite was also one of my bigger problems. So, as soon as you accept that medical marijuana has its own side - effects, you would be much better, trust me.

Good day. I have problems with anxiety like forever. I have tried so many things to stop this anxiety, to prevent it or at least to mitigate it, but nothing. A couple of days ago I was talking to my girlfriend. She is very educated and she knows so many things that I really don't know. She told me that it might be a good idea to start to use medical cannabis in treating my anxiety. My first reaction was - what? No way! And then I started to do some researches. I found this site and I found a lot of helpful information. Let's say that this is the first time when I found out that this can be really helpful. What do you think? Can I treat my anxiety with a weed???

Yes, your girlfriend is right and she is not lying to you. It is proven that more than 400 years ago people were using cannabis to treat depression. Now, generally with a global increase of medical marijuana use to treat health conditions, a lot of studies are done and generally, most of them are showing that medical marijuana can be used to treat anxiety disorders So, that is why a lot of people are trying to get it.

I need to be honest, and tell you that I was never using it. Maybe I am a coward, but I just can't. Advocates believe that the chemical makeup of cannabis can be beneficial in treating anxiety. On the other hand, some people are saying that cannabis can actually cause anxiety. That is why you need to be careful.
