To enumerate the benefits of cannabis, we have to go back to 1964. The Israeli Professor Raphael Mechoulam, together with his research group, described the fundamental molecules of marijuana (Cannabis sativa) and the endocannabinoid system of the human body that allowed its medicinal use.
At present, the efforts of researchers and the most important universities in the world are focused on getting to know in depth the medical marijuana for its therapeutic use. Research continues with new studies and clinical trials that demonstrate the benefits of medical cannabis to improve various medical problems.
Benefits of cannabis
Among the various ailments whose improvement has been demonstrated thanks to the benefits of medical cannabis include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's
- Cancer
- Fibromyalgia and pain
- Abstinence syndrome
- Chronic anxiety
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Multiple sclerosis
- Crohn's disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases
- Psoriasis
Nausea and vomiting
Various studies show that the active component of medical marijuana l known as delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (D-9-THC) reduces vomiting. Clinical trials have also proven that cannabinoids are effective in counteracting nausea and vomiting caused by radiation therapy.
Neurodegenerative diseases
Some patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease or with diseases that can cause metastases such as breast cancer are increasingly committed to supplementing their medication with the use of therapeutic cannabis.
Experts in the cultivation of medical marijuana, such as Miguel Gimeno, from Marihuana Televisión, share their knowledge on the subject at conferences and talks. Keep in mind that therapeutic cannabis users are affected by some disease, so they also need to know the best way to consume cannabis so as not to aggravate their ailments.
Specialists like Gimeno highlight the need to grow the plant in an ecological way, without the use of pesticides. It coincides with other experts who believe it is better to do it through vaporization or "vaping" than smoking, since combustion gives off tar that can be detrimental to the patient's condition.
