Benefits of Cannabis...medical...

*disclaimer* All plant strains do NOT offer the same benefits, different ones offer different effects and often times is on a person to person basis...

Pain Relief
Increased Appetite
Decreased Nausea (unless mixed with a hard liquor, than nausea may increase)
Muscle Relaxation
LiveStong Website

Link For below


And that is just a few of the benefits... have also had heard great things about the benefits for those who are bi-polar (similar to the effects of Valerian root).

The Declaration of Indepedence was signed on a scroll made from Hemp.

Please forgive me, the lists are long and there might be duplicates depending on which list you are looking at
This is to cover the various strains so that people may look them up, for research purposes, and also look up the benefits to different ones should their doctor recommend the use of it.
Enjoy

THC initiates brain cancer cells to destroy themselves

THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, causes brain cancer cells to undergo a process called autophagy in which cells feed upon themselves, according to a study conducted by Guillermo Velasco and colleagues at Complutense University in Spain.
Using mice designed to carry human brain cancer tumors, the researchers found that the growth of the tumors shrank when the animals received THC.
The study also involved two patients with glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.
Both patients had been enrolled in a clinical trial designed to test THC's potential as a cancer therapy.
The researchers used electron microscopes to analyze brain tissue taken before and after a 26- to 30-day THC treatment regimen.
They found that THC eliminated the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact.
In addition, in what they described as a "novel discovery," the specific signalling route by which the autophagy process unfolds was isolated.

Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn't Damage Brain
Analysis of Studies Finds Little Effect From Long-Term Use

Long-term and even daily marijuana use doesn't appear to cause permanent brain damage, adding to evidence that it can be a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of diseases, say researchers.

The researchers found only a "very small" impairment in memory and learning among long-term marijuana users. Otherwise, scores on thinking tests were similar to those who don't smoke marijuana, according to a new analysis of 15 previous studies.

In those studies, some 700 regular marijuana users were compared with 484 non-users on various aspects of brain function -- including reaction time, language and motor skills, reasoning ability, memory, and the ability to learn new information.

Cannabinoids protect against sunburn and skin cancer because of the CB1 receptors in our skin.

Clinical trial data published in January 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Society of Clinical Investigation that found cannabinoids significantly inhibit skin tumor growth in mice. Investigators of the study concluded, "The present data indicate that local cannabinoids administration may constitute an alternative therapeutic approach for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer."

THC to cure skin cancer?
Well, not just skin cancer. It has been documented, even videotaped(www.sethgroup.org) that THC from the cannabis plant attacks cancerous and mutated cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed
www.whfhhc.com/Skin-Cancer/145529.htm

One fascinating aspect of Dr. Manuel Guzman’s work is that, as the tumors being treated are in brain (nerve) tissue, the neuroprotective properties of THC become extremely important. Whereas most cancer treatments cause damage to surrounding tissue (especially crucial in the brain), THC treatments actually protect adjacent non-cancerous nerve tissue.

Batou, just go with the assumption that we consider all people "being stupid" until proven otherwise

And I also assume, you get your county gold for no other purpose other than research and study (its legal here now, but I ain't got a medical card for it, so it's purely for research reasons, of course, if I should have any, at any moment in time (past, present, or future )) I assume it's the same where you're at
