    Medicinal Marijuana

    Cannabis, better know as Marijuana, has been around since 2900 B.C. A Chinese Emperor Fu His, referenced the plant as being, “a popular medicine that possessed both yin and yang.”(ProCon.org) In America, the use of Marijuana and the concept of it has been kicked around and jumbled for hundreds of years. It has been generalized and put in a box. Beginning with George Washington, he grew Marijuana on his private plantation for thirty years. In the early 1900’s states began outlawing the herb, starting with Massachusetts in 1911. Ironically, the first arrest ever made for possession of Marijuana was in Colorado. Today, Colorado along with Washington has legalized the recreational use of Cannabis. In 1970, Marijuana was labeled as a schedule one drug that had “no accepted medical use.” In 2013, that myth has been thoroughly shot down as propaganda as we can see by the uprising in Medicinal Marijuana Dispensaries across the country. However, some people still believe the plant is a harmful and a dangerous drug. It is one of the oldest, and most effective natural medicines in human existence. Marijuana does not affect everybody the same way.…

    Medicinal Marijuana Should Be Legalized

Although medical cannabis has some great benefits, in the many countries it is still illegal to possess and/or use.

    Medical Marijuana

    Many ancient civilizations have discovered the use of marijuana in medical practices dating all the way back to 8,000 B.C. The Egyptians took the use of marijuana for treatment of sore eyes, the Natives of America who mixed marijuana and milk to create a primitive anesthetic. Even the Chinese emperor Shen-Nung was known to prescribe it as medicine, to treat vomiting, parasitic infections, and hemorrhage. Marijuana continues to be use in China as a folk remedy for diarrhea and dysentery and to stimulate the appetite and digestion. In India, Marijuana has been associated with magic and religion- as well as healing-for thousands of years. Practitioners of the traditional Ayurvedic medicine still prescribe marijuana to promote sleep, appetite, and digestion as well as to relieve the pain. For centuries, Marijuana has also been used by the Mexicans for the treatment of rheumatism. ProCon.org. (2013, August 13). Historical Timeline.…
