VIDEO OF THE DAY The days of Reefer Madness are pretty far gone, but the American public is still vastly uninformed about marijuana, particularly concerning its myriad of amazing health benefits. Here are 10 (out of countless) health benefits that marijuana possesses. With that said, it’s simply baffling that medical marijuana is not legal in most of the country, and still there retains such a negative reputation. So, if you have one of these conditions, now might be a good time to call up your cousin’s dealer.

There is a lot of unfounded rhetoric that states smoking pot can cause lung cancer because your inhaling smoke, like cigarettes. This simply isn’t true. Cigarette smoke causes cancer because the tobacco is radiated whereas marijuana isn’t. In fact, the American Association for Cancer Research has found the marijuana actually works to slow down tumor growth in the lungs, breasts, and brain considerably.

3. Migraines Since medicinal marijuana was legalized in California, doctors have reported that they have been able to treat more than 300,000 cases of migraines that conventional medicine couldn’t through marijuana. And that’s NOT just because it’s easy to fake having migraines, right? RIGHT?!

4. Glaucoma Marijuana’s treatment of glaucoma has been one of the best documented. There isn’t a single valid study that exists that disproves marijuana’s very powerful and popular effects on glaucoma patients. Beat that, DEA!

5. Multiple Sclerosis Marijuana’s effects on multiple sclerosis patients became better documented when former talk-show host, Montel Williams began to use pot to treat his MS. Marijuana works to stop the neurological effects and muscle spasms that come from the fatal disease.

6. Tourette’s and OCD Just like marijuana can treat seizures and multiple sclerosis, marijuana’s effects slow down the tics in those suffering from Tourette’s, and the obsessive neurological symptoms in people with OCD.

7. ADD and ADHD A well documented USC study done about a year ago showed that marijuana is not only a perfect alternative for Ritalin but treats the disorder without any of the negative side effects of the pharmaceutical.

8. IBS and Crohn’s Marijuana has shown that it can help with symptoms of the chronic diseases as it stops nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

9. Alzheimer’s Despite what you may have heard about marijuana’s effects on the brain, the Scripps Institute, in 2006, proved that the THC found in marijuana works to prevent Alzheimer’s by blocking the deposits in the brain that cause the disease.

10. Premenstrual Syndrome Next time your girlfriend is complaining that you smoke too much weed, hand her a joint. Just like marijuana is used to treat IBS, it can be used to treat the cramps and discomfort that causes your girlfriend to lash out at you. Using marijuana for PMS actually goes all the way back to Queen Victoria. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. So now that you’ve read through all this, can you really let anyone convince you of a need for marijuana rehab? I think we’ve made a pretty good case that marijuana IS rehab! It is also highly recommended that you check out The Union (for free!), a great documentary made by Brett Harvey.

Weed is not that bad, it helps as stated above and it doesn't kill people. What kills people is drug dealers fighting over it because they're selling it illegally. If it were legal in all states, I can guess that crime would go down because everyone would be so darn happy that they can smoke it whenever they want to. If it were up to me cigarettes would be illegal, they kill millions of people but no one seems to care about that. Ask yourself this question, when was the last time you heard of someone dying because they smoked too much weed ???

You don't have to be a stereotype to smoke weed or do drugs or drink. You don't have to be smart or stupid, have perfect grammar & spelling & sentence structure, or go to college or sit or your ass. Some who choose to smoke may sit on their ass, be lazy, & do nothing with their lives, just as some who choose not to smoke. Some who choose to smoke may go to college, get a degree, have a job or multiple jobs, be a parent, an active member of the community...point is, it doesn't matter who you are, what you do, what color you are, where you live, or anything else. It's just as much a choice as drinking a beer or going to college or getting a job. Many would be surprised to know many people some of the comments talk about as successful or intelligent who may smoke weed on a daily basis & no one would ever know. Drink a beer or drink a case. Smoke a bowl or smoke six. It's a choice.

You're all idiots. Go back through your posts and read them. EVERYONE misspelled words. Why is it that moron stoners think they're smarter than everyone else? You think you're the first people to discover something that gets you high? When one of you actually becomes a scientist, maybe people will start listening. The problem is to get to the point where you can become a scientist you have to stop smoking weed. I'm so sick of you people constantly whining that nobody understands you goth's, emo's, alternative lifestyle hippies. Get a f*cking life.

i agree completely with you except for cancer, all smoke can cause cancer because it contains carbon monoxide a bi product of combustion... carbon monoxide is one is a carcinogen and can lead to the development of cancer and heart disease "Marijuana contains some of the highest cancer causing substances known. It contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetone, benzene, toluene, vinyl chloride, dimethylnitrosamine, methylethylnitrosamine, benz(a)anthracene, benz(a)pyrene, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and many more." (Huber, Gary: Pharm.Biochem.Behavior Vol.40. P.630, 1991.)... but you can always lower the tar content and carcinogens through vaporization or preparing it into different forms such as oil or butter then cook with it.

The mental illness is the root of the problem for me, although drugs and alcohol played a big role in the way i lived my life i needed to get some help with the direction i was going and how i was going to get there.It is funny how people have all kinds of differant opinions on things in life and it has been that way for ever and will continue to be that way.

I have been smoking greens from past 3 to 4 years, everyday one joint at night,and i think it makes a person calmer.There are two types of smokers i.e.depressed and joyful smoker's.For depressed smokers pot becomes a need,whereas the joyful smoker's smoke it to have fun,socialize,and

smokers pot becomes a need,whereas the joyful smoker's smoke it to have fun,socialize,and sometime to find a solution to problems by thinking etc.But all the green inhalers(stoner's) have their subconscious cells biologically activated to some extent,which slightly deviates our way of thinking from people who don't smoke greens i.e.we slightly raise to the next level of thinking ,known as the high level thinking, and which is a little better & advanced than the way how non-stoner's think. SO,DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE,SMOKE WEED AND FLY. Thank's to mother nature for making the earth suitable for it:D. And have you ever seen a stoned guy fighting or creating disturbance to the society? I don't know about you all, but i have never seen,whereas i have seen drunk's fighting and creating problems.This is my point of view regarding this topic. THANKFUL

This is just a short list of what benefits come from marijuana but this is phenomenal to say the least. Gods natural cure will hopefully be legalized one day. For now we will have some people being cured instead of the world like this 6 year old boy http://smarturl.it/miraclecure
