Why is marijuana gaining popularity among the countries worldwide?
Marijuana or cannabis have been proven to be the solution to several medical conditions where the current existing medications were not showing results at all or showing slow effects. In fact, some of the medicines have shown unacceptable side effects, some of which were permanent. For example, having sleeping pills daily can damage the nervous system of the insomniac patient permanently. Instead, a small dose of medical marijuana may help him in sound sleeping, that too without a side effect. Some of the chronic diseases which can be cured with the help of medical marijuana are as follows:
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Cancer treatment side effects
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Arthritis
- Epilepsy
