Risks and Benefits of Medical Marijuana

Medical Cannabis Resources

There has been a lot of confusion about the health benefits of using the marijuana (cannabis) plant in a manner which does not make the patient high, but simply enhances health.

For years, I had a negative opinion about medical marijuana since I had seen so many young people use marijuana to try and escape the challenges of life resulting in apathy, lack of will power to set and achieve goals and tragically loose the opportunity to reach their potential.

That waste of humanity is related to using marijuana a to get high and avoid life challenges. I am not recommending that you use marijuana for that purpose. I am recommending that you inform yourself about the health benefits of marijuana and then we can talk about your treatment options.

Here is an account of my gradual appreciation for medical marijuana:
