Marijuana Is A Medicine - Is It True?

Is it true or not? Actually, the answer is no. Although, marijuana is a medicine that bears legal claims from some US citizens, definitely, it is, still, a prohibited drug. Yes, these are people who believed that this dry, green and mixed leaves, flowers, seeds and stems of Cannabis sativa can cure certain diseases like glaucoma, the “wasting syndrome” associated with AIDS, epilepsy, muscular spasticity disorders and others in relation. Marijuana remains not safe for intake.
Why is there such a belief? The use of marijuana for medical purposes can be, actually, traced back to 5,000 years and plus before. Its most active element seen is the THC or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
Before, the US government has agreed on legal access to the said drug for the seriously ill persons through the Compassionate IND program, but it was closed in 1991 due to the bulk of demands from other people asking for the same right. This was during the advent of AIDS in the country. There were 12 individuals, then, who were granted the right to receive marijuana in supplies. To now, 4 of them had already died, while the remaining are, still said, enjoying the continued receipt of this benefit.

The use of marijuana as a medicine is legal at 16 states in the USA: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montano, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. Cannabis Buyer’s Clubs or CBC is a duly giving body in the country for supplying the drug to certain individuals only with a proven medical need for its cures. In California, the Proposition 215 was implemented in order to keep the life of its CBCs. A lot of the local governments have approved the clubs to remain running in its functions, because any of their efforts on stopping medical marijuana crisis had failed.
In legality, the use of marijuana as an effective medicinal cure for humans is still uncertain today. Government officials and experts still warn us of getting confused. The best practice should be not to support and uphold promoting the said drug as a helpful plant. Life is at its peak, when taken smartly.
