    Marijuana is frequently beneficial in the treatment of the following conditions:

    AIDS. Marijuana can reduce the nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused by the ailment itself and by various AIDS medications.

    Glaucoma. Marijuana can reduce interlobular pressure, thereby alleviating the pain and slowing -- and sometimes stopping -- the progress of the condition.

    Cancer. Marijuana can stimulate the appetite and alleviate nausea and vomiting, which are common side effects of chemotherapy treatment.

    Multiple Sclerosis. Marijuana can limit the muscle pain and spasticity caused by the disease, as well as relieving tremor and unsteadiness of gait.

    Epilepsy. Marijuana can prevent epileptic seizures in some patients.

    Chronic Pain. Marijuana can alleviate the chronic, often debilitating pain caused by myriad disorders and injuries.

    Each of these applications has been deemed legitimate by at least one court, legislature, and/or government agency in the United States.

    Many patients also report that marijuana is useful for treating arthritis, migraine, menstrual cramps, alcohol and opiate addiction, and depression and other debilitating mood disorders.

    In my own personal experience cannabis is good because...


    I have an anxiety disorder, and I worry constantly and have a history of panic attacks. Smoking cannabis has dramatically helped me both as a relaxant, and a way to meditate and really find my way to feeling more comfortable in life. It truely showed me a new light.

    Similar effects with my depression, I've had a depression since I can remember it seems... cannabis relieves me of that extra weight on my shoulders and have a little joy in my life. To which I wouldn't trade for anything.

    It has also helped me artisticly, as a poet, a musician, and a writer. I have a desire to create and improve my artistic abilities and persue my career. Hell, it encouraged me to go back to college.

    I love cannabis.

    Those are some of the exact same reasons I love it. I get mild anxiety and I'm so much more calm on weed. Plus the depression thing is so true. I was terribly depressed and I was gaining weight and I didn't want to do anything anymore. Then I started smoking again and I feel great now. I'm not high all the time either and I realize more what being depressed felt like so I could identify it again so I don't think I'm dependant on herb now just to live a happy life. But it did totally help my lack of sex drive and basically my boyfriend and I both agree it's a wonderful thing! I just wish I lived in a windmill on a tulip farm in Amsterdam!
