Marijuana as Medication

Even though U.S. law classify marijuana as a Schedule I illegal substance (which denotes it has no satisfactory medical use), numerous patients say that smoking marijuana has assisted them cope with pain or eased the signs of glaucoma, the loss of appetite that accompanies AIDS, or sickness caused by cancer chemotherapy. There is, on the other hand, no firm confirmation that smoking marijuana generates any greater advantages than supported medications (as well as oral THC) now used to take care of these patients, ease their pain, or alleviate the side effects of their treatment.
