• Chemical components of Cannabis, called cannabinoids, activatespecific receptors found throughout the body to produce pharmacologic effects, particularly in the central nervous systemand the immune syste

The legalization of medical marijuana in several states has been driven by the discoveries of many health benefits of cannabis. Through informed research and sufficient lab testing, marijuana is proven as a great cure for nausea and neuropathic pain (pain resulting from damaged nerves).

Slowing the Spread of Cancerous Cells :-

A recent study shows that marijuana compounds slow the growth or even kill different types of cancer cells. This study has also been done on animals, and has shown that certain cannabinoids reduce the spread of some types of cancer.

Treatment of Epilepsy :-

Cannabis is now prescribed as an alternative medicine for epilepsy. In a recent study done by the American Academy of Neurology, 137 people were put under marijuana medication for 12 weeks. The 27 patients who were suffering from atonic seizures (symptoms common in epileptic persons) recorded a 66.7% decrease in the occurrence of seizures.

Growth of Brain Cells :-

Marijuana has long faced the stereotype of being a drug that kills brain cells. A study done by The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology suggests that CBD, a chemical compound of marijuana, can help grow brains cells.

Slows Alzheimer’s Progression :-

Cannabis contains Omega-3 fatty acids that lower blood pressure, reduce risks associated with cardiovascular disease, and may prevent Alzheimer’s. Marijuana is one of the few plants known to contain Omega-3.

Maintenance of the Entire Body :-

One of the essential nutrients found in cannabis is amino acids. This herb helps maintain body organs, cells, muscles and tissues. It’s also helpful in improving muscle control and mental functioning.

Cancer :-

Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals and also kill cancer cells. Western governments have known this for a long time yet they continued to suppress the information so that cannabis prohibition and the profits generated by the drug industry proliferated. THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body and activate these receptors.
