Good effects of Marijuana

Marijuana is a very controversial issue with a lot of information being spread around, both for and against it. The subject of marijuana affects everyone whether they know it or not due to the millions of tax dollars that have been fruitlessly spent on the drug war and marijuana prohibition, with almost no conclusive impact on cannabis culture. The truth about marijuana needs to be brought to light so that people can decide, with an educated opinion, whether or not the positive effects of marijuana out weigh the negative. Between the anti-drug activists, who would say anything to make marijuana seem like an evil life taking tool, and the pro-drug activists, who seem to think that it is a plant that was sent down from the heavens to save mankind, the actual facts and data can get quite distorted and warped. Therefore in the end it’s hard to separate the fact from the fiction. More and more, you see new stories about marijuana legalization with activists from both sides arguing their case. The battle has really been coming to a head in the last few years and I believe that the decision of marijuana legalization will be made in my lifetime; so it is a very relevant topic to me, and to my generation as well. The truth needs to be heard. I have gathered and examined multiple reliable sources and studies, as well as pulled from my own personal experience with the drug to put together the true picture of marijuana.

Marijuana Can Treat Some Cold and Wet Conditions


Today’s marijuana has a warm to hot and dry nature. That means we could potentially use it for treating some cold and wet conditions.
- A possible short-term therapy for treating certain types of respiratory allergies where the patient gets tons of drippy, cold mucous running out of her/his nose?
- For digestive issues, particularly ones where there’s a slow or non-existent appetite?
- For sexual inhibitions where a person has become cold and withdrawn sexually, or feels cut off from the world around her/him?
- A possible stimulant to creativity and communication?
- To help a person have a mental or emotional breakthrough if s/he is stuck in some way?
- To help with certain kinds of hernias and hemorrhoids if they’re related to cold and wet conditions?


It’s Better With Balance


Let’s remember that the primary instant side effect of marijuana is that it leaves a person stoned for several hours after s/he takes it, and that this is a strong incentive behind its popularity.
There are hundreds of alternatives to cannabis that don’t create a semi-psychedelic experience and are superior to using cannabis in every way. I would advocate using any of the alternatives first and foremost every time.
Not everybody has the range of treatment options that acupuncturists do.
Acupuncturists wouldn’t use an herb in isolation, especially an herb as volatile and toxic as marijuana. If a patient was already using cannabis for some reason, we would combine it with other herbs to enhance its positive qualities and diminish the negative ones.
Taoist medical practitioners knew about the qualities of marijuana, but they only used the seeds for medicine. They had their reasons for their preference not to use marijuana on a clinical basis.}
