- Anxiety
Marijuana contains two active chemicals that researchers claim have medical applications. These are the cannabidiol (CBD) that improves situations of the brain and the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that eliminates the pain. Now we presented/displayed some to you of the benefits that science has found:
Things You Didn’t Know About Medical
It can be used to treat glaucoma. This disease increases pressure on the eyeball, damaging the optic nerve and causing vision loss.
Marijuana decreases the pressure inside the eye, lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with normal pressure and people with glaucoma.
It can help reverse the carcinogenic effects of tobacco and improve lung health. Marijuana does not harm lung function and may even increase lung capacity.
It helps to control epileptic seizures. The cannabinoids, like the active ingredients of the marijuana, the tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as THC), control the convulsions.

It decreases anxiety. Medical marijuana users say the drug helps relieve pain and suppresses nausea. The two main reasons why it is often used to relieve the side effects of chemotherapy It is necessary to have control in the dose, because the highest doses can increase the anxiety.
THC slows the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. One study found that THC slows the formation of amyloid plaques by blocking the enzyme in the brain that produces them. These plaques are what kill brain cells and cause Alzheimer’s.
Medical cannabis
It is not recommended to smoke cannabis if the person seeks to obtain the medicinal benefits of the plant and not a great buzz. In the incineration of the material combustion and carbonization of the organic matter of the plant a great amount of polluting and toxic compounds for the organism are derived. All these counterproductive effects can be avoided. To avoid them we must only consume the plant in a different way. The ideal is to consume the plant in vaporizers, with food, drinks, or raw.
The North American doctor William Courtney has recently presented the results of an investigation from which the use of fresh cannabis is derived. The Cannabis in drinks based on fruits has an especially beneficial effect in the prevention and cure of diverse diseases.
Raw cannabis, refers to the use of almost all parts of the plant in the preparation of fruit juices and salads. One of the advantages is that the psychoactive effects are reduced to a minimum.
To obtain the greater effectiveness, doctor Courtney recommends to use 115 to 230 grams (4 to 8 ounces) of parts of the plant. The (leaves, stem, flowers) in a shake. 5 mg of cannabidiol (CBD) by kilo of weight. A salad with seeds of hemp and 50 mg THC in 5 daily doses.
