Physicians in California released this list of conditions for which medicinal marijuana is an effective treatment:
(1) AIDS wasting syndrome
(2) arthritis, osteo- and rheumatoid
(3) asthma (while not burning cannabis)
(4) Crohn’s disease/inflammatory bowel disease
(5) depression
(6) mental illness--schizophrenia (pro and con articles have been reported)
(7) degenerative neural diseases
(8) eating disorders/anorexia
(9) epilepsy/seizures
(10) glaucoma
(11) intractable breathlessness
(12) migraine
(13) multiple sclerosis
(14) nausea and vomiting
(15) obstetric problems (dysmenorrheal, morning sickness, uterine bleeding, and antimiscarriage)
(16) pain, of all types
(17) phantom limb pain
(18) tumors ( blockade of a carcinogenesis enzyme)
(19) withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism, morphinism, cocaine addiction, chloral hydrate addiction, etc. (and probably tobacco addiction).
The biggest triumph on this list: obstetric problems. I have read articles about studies done on pregnant jamaican women who regularly used marijuana that revealed no birth defects in their children. However, I had no clue that it was actually so beneficial for expecting mothers! Ganja can keep you from having a miscarriage! What a relief for women. The website mothering.com even published an article on it!
I feel a whole lot better about eventually getting pregnant.
