Trying to list all of the medicinal and medical benefits of marijuana is like trying to name and list all of the stars in the sky; there are just so many of them! Americans, and people all across the rest of the planet, are standing up for their rights to incorporate holistic, natural medicines in order to remedy their ailments. We cannot be forced into taking in the toxic substances released as medicines from multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical companies. And with the help of modern technologies, the many medicinal benefits of marijuana are ever-increasingly becoming integrated into the very fabric of worldwide societies everywhere.

Isn’t it strange that the United States government, the same government that denies its people the legal right to use medical marijuana, holds patents on the medicinal attributes of weed’s usage? That’s right, the US government holds patents for the medicinal usage of cannabis because of its neuroprotectant and antioxidant properties.

MMDS is proud to help educate the masses about the nearly unlimited abilities of marijuana to help reduce stress, thwart depression and battle the effects of an astounding number of diseases and other adverse health conditions. The medical benefits of marijuana are far too numerous to present in one inclusive list. However, below you’ll find some of the most remarkable, clinically-proven medicinal marijuana benefits.

Cannabis sativa has been used as a holistically effective medicinal agent on every continent, by all types of people, for thousands and thousands of years. As powerful international pharmaceutical companies continue to break down under the scrutiny and anger of world citizens, natural, holistic preventatives and cures, like marijuana, continue to resurface as sensible health solutions. There’s no need to worry about a long list of possible side effects, many of which are more detrimental than the conditions being treated in the first place. And whether or not governmental agencies want to give in to widespread medicinal marijuana usage, in short time, they will have to.

AIDS

For HIV/AIDS patients trying to stay healthy in the face of appetite loss and wasting syndrome, cannabinoid drugs are a viable treatment that do not adversely affect other required medications.

Alcoholism

It seems the medical benefits to this wonder plant are never-ending, as this article will testify.

Alzheimer

Cannabis contains a compound that could help Alzheimer’s disease patients…but some researchers feel the risk is greater than the potential reward.

Anorexia

We all know that marijuana gives us the munchies, and that medical marijuana helps AIDS and cancer patients gain weight, but, can it help anorexics as well?

Arthritis

The ancient Chinese can’t be wrong: cannabis may be able to “undo” rheumatism.

Autism

A new partnership between a biotech firm and an autism activist group may be the first step in reliable data on using medical marijuana to treat autism spectrum disorders.

Brain Tumors

Again, why is this plant illegal? Oh yeah, because the pharmaceutical companies have the government wrapped around their finger.

Cannabis and Cachexia

Cachexia

Just as recreational pot smokers get “the munchies,” AIDS and cancer patients using medical marijuana often see increased appetites and weight gain.

Diabetes

Cannabis can help reduce blood sugar, improve blood pressure, and, when used in the kitchen, is incredibly heart-healthy.

Fibromyalgia

Hooray for Spain for beginning what is the first research to show that cannabis helps with the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Do you have high blood pressure? Then you may want to talk to a doctor about getting a prescription for medical marijuana to treat that.

Insomnia is a recognized disease in the medical community. What isn’t recognized by most doctors however, is that they don’t need pills and sedatives to treat this illness.
