Результати дослідження

The researches of marijuana as a healthy drug started in 1960's by psychiatrist Tod H.Mikuriya, who helped to develop a law, giving a right to prescribe cannabis as a remedy. He believed that the symptoms of over 200 ailments could be treated with the drug. Moreover, the National Cancer Institute recognized that chemicals of marijuana can reduce side effects of chemotherapy, preventing nausea, vomiting, weight loss, decreasing pain, and improving sleep and mood. According to research studies conducted by the University of California's Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) cannabis can serve for many purposes in treatment of maladies. The experiments of using cannabis for treating pain caused by HIV-related peripheral neuropathy (injury to the nerves that supply feelings to your arms and feet) concluded that 52% of patients who smoked marijuana had a greater than 30% reduction in pain. Generally, cannabis was being studied for its analgesic efficacy and in most cases it showed positive results, helping to decrease pain and discomfort: “The ability of cannabinoids to delay the response to painful stimulation...provides scientific evidence for a direct analgesic effect of cannabinoids.” In addition to this, marijuana controls epileptic seizures, decreases anxiety, slows the progression of Alzheimer's disease, lessens side-effects from treating hepatitis C, treats inflammatory bowel diseases, relieves arthritis discomfort and so on and so forth and the list may be endless.</big>
