Marijuana is good for your health

What do you guys think about marijuana as far as health?

From all the studies I've seen there are many health benefits to consuming cannabis. I have yet to see any type of proof that marijuana can cause any type of harm to the human body. Sure some people can argue that smoking is bad for you and I see why it could be, but even long term studies have failed to link cannabis smoke to any health problems. Not to mention smoking is only one of several ways to consume marijuana. From what I've read and from personal experience, I think this is a very useful plant that many people don't take advantage of.


It has already been proven to be a very effective cure for cancer in large doses.

Marijuana is also supposed to rid the brain of damaged brain cells while encouraging the growth of new brain cells. It also can protect the brain from alcohol.

Marijuana lowers insulin resistance making it useful to treat or prevent diabetes. Users usually have a slimmer waistline than nonusers.

Cannabis can even help with HIV/AIDS

PTSD is a defect in the endocannabinoid system. PTSD sufferers have a larger amount of cannabinoid receptors but a lower amount of anandamide, a natural cannabinoid found in the body. Therefore it is proven that cannabis is the best treatment for ptsd.

Even ADD/ADHD

Cannabis is a very healthy food as well. Hemp seeds are the healthiest thing you can possibly eat since they are full of omega 3 and 6 in ideal ratios. They are also high in protein and contain all the amino acids you need.

Omega 3 and Omega 6 are essential in brain development and are an important part of the human diet.

Anyways this list can go on forever since there is much more research that has been done on this plant and we continue to learn new uses for it all the time. The question is, why isn't everyone using it? We could replace every single pharmacuetical drug with a harmless plant. Seems like a good idea to me considering prescription drugs kill 16,000 people a year and cannabis has caused 0 deaths ever.
