If you are looking to get stoned and you think this article will help you attain ‘stoner status’, I’m afraid we cannot help. However, if you are seeking knowledge on how marijuana and marijuana edibles can benefit your health, then this knowledge might help you find some answers.
Marijuana and Cancer: Medical research and articles suggest that regulated use of marijuana for cancer treatment can help to slow the growth of some cancer cells or stop them from spreading or progressing into the next stage. Some health experts also suggest that regulated use of marijuana for chemotherapy patients can help them control nausea, pain and vomiting that arise as side effects of chemo treatments. Marijuana can be introduced in form of marijuana edibles to cancer patients to also help stimulate their appetites. Marijuana edibles provide the right balance of pain relief and medical intervention.
Marijuana and Glaucoma: regulated use of marijuana whether as medical pills or ingested marijuana edibles have been successfully used to help patients suffering from glaucoma. Studies suggest that it helps to reduce eyeball pressure. A reduction of the intraocular pressure helped protect the optic nerves from injury and drastically reduced or eliminated the possibilities of partial loss of vision and total blindness.
Marijuana and Seizures: Medical experts have been able to successfully use marijuana to help people that suffer seizures from epilepsy and Dravet Syndrome. Patients who used it as a form of regulated medical treatment were said to have experienced a sharp drop in seizure occurrences.
Marijuana was also used to treat patients with Parkinson’s disease and results showed improved moods and better motor skills, while there were significant reductions in tremors and pain. Patients were also able to enjoy better sleep after they were given regulated marijuana doses.
Marijuana is best taken under strict medical supervision and should be provided with prescriptions (this applies to marijuana edibles too). While it is good for improving health conditions, it can be easily abused (consciously or unconsciously). However, if used appropriately, the benefits are numerous and can help you enjoy a better, healthier and happier life.
