States That Have Medical Marijuana

The cannabis plant has a long history of being used as medicine in many cultures and there have been many positive studies involving the use of cannabis as medicine. He has contributed to the lives of sick, but many countries reject the idea of cannabis has medical value

What medical marijuana?:
Medical Marijuana refers to the use of cannabis marijuana as a herbal therapy and the use of synthetic THC and cannabinoids.

A brief history:
The first use of cannabis as medicine is difficult to define, but in China it was believed its use as a medicine for 4000 years, Egyptian texts like Papyrus Ebers Papyrus and the Ramesseum III, two more than 1000 years BC describe medical marijuana. Other cultures are also references to medical marijuana from texts dating back several millennia. In modern medicine, cannabis has been used more in Western civilization from the 19th century following experiences and promotion of Irish physician William O'Shaughnessy Brooke. The creation of aspirin is considered by some to be responsible for the decreased use of cannabis as a medicine, along the anti-cannabis early 20th century, with films like Reefer Madness cannabis increased from medicine at a drug that makes you mad. In more recent times, few countries recognize cannabis as a medicine and there are some pharmaceutical companies looking into the many compounds in the plant for medicinal purposes.

Where:
Many countries cannabis class as worthless medicines so medical marijuana is available in the form of herbal or synthetic Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Israel, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and 13 states of the United States. The laws are different in all countries with medical marijuana and access can be difficult. You will need the recommendation of a doctor if your doctor is the best person to talk to if you live in a place where medical cannabis could be available to you. The situation in the United States is complicated with the 13 states have adopted state laws, but medical marijuana is not recognized by federal law. This means that patients who use and grow medical marijuana legally under State law still live in fear of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) raids and possibly stop them. As I mentioned before, we can hope that something will change the new president, but only time will tell

Uses:
Cannabis has been used as medicine for years to relieve pain and is considered particularly good for the relief of neuropathic pain (pain from nerve damage). Cannabis can also be nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders, cannabis is also a powerful appetite stimulant and is particularly good for patients suffering from HIV and other diseases that reduce appetite . Some new research finds the properties of cannabis may protect the body against certain types of malignancies and neuroprotective. There are many more uses for cannabis and medical research no doubt be more benefits from the plant.

Future:
It should be easy to say that the future of cannabis use as a medicine is bright but with most countries around the world by rejecting the idea that marijuana has medical value, it made progress more difficult. I hope the country more quickly and all States of the United States will have access to medical cannabis. Awareness has spread to the medical value of marijuana because there are more people who could benefit from the use of cannabis as medicine plant.The is nothing new and that some pharmaceutical companies are looking closely at the factory and some of its compounds do not surprise me. Since they can not patent a plant those looking to make money from the plant will look to make a synthetic version that they can make millions. It would be easier and better for the SIM patients.
