5 Diseases Proven to Respond Better to Cannabis Than Prescription Drugs
By Marco Torres “Wake up World” 16.06.16
that while synthetic cannabis pills do offer
pain relief, marijuana is cheaper, has fewer
side effects and can be more effective.
Now decades of propaganda is being reversed
as scientists and the public are being exposed
to the true potential of cannabis and its ability
to both heal and prevent disease.
The reason cannabis is so effective
medicinally is directly related to its ability to
interact with receptors in the body which
inhibit inflammation and prevent disease.
Cannabis does this so well that few drugs can
compete with its level of potency, which
comes essentially with no side effects. These
are just 5 diseases that are proven to respond
better to cannabis than to drugs, however,
there are many studies currently being
conducted that may prove dozens more.
Many researchers have noted that there was
“inadequate” data for decades to determine
whether smoked marijuana was safe or
effective in treating symptoms of pain and
preventing disease.
The primary reason for the lack of data had to
do with the National Institute on Drug Abuse,
or NIDA, which was the only source of
cannabis for research purposes — NIDA
actively blocked most meaningful studies due
to its close ties with pharmaceutical
companies.
This view was supported by Dr. David
Bearman, the executive vice president for the
Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine/Society
of Cannabis Clinicians. “Part of the problem
in the United States is that the NIDA has
blocked almost all meaningful studies on
cannabis,” Bearman said. Bearman argues
Excellent cannabis strains which treat various
medical conditions include Charlotte’s Web,
Harlequin, Sour Tsunami and Cannatonic.
Noting cannabis’ vastly superior side effect
profile DEA Administrative Law Judge,
Francis L. Young, after a two-year hearing to
reschedule cannabis in 1998 said:
“Nearly all medicines have toxic, potentially
lethal effects.
But marijuana is not such a substance.
There is no record in the extensive medical
literature describing a proven, documented
cannabis-induced fatality… In strict medical
terms marijuana is far safer than many foods
we commonly consume … Marijuana, in its
natural form, is one of the
safest
therapeutically active substances known to
man.”
