WE NEED TO BE MORE INFORMED ABOUT BENEFITS OF MARIJUANA

Today, the American public still continues to be largely uninformed 
about marijuana, particularly concerning the myriad of its amazing 
health benefits that it contains.

Here are just a few (of countless) health benefits that marijuana possesses.

Therapeutically speaking, marijuana works to considerably slow down 
cancerous tumor growth in the lungs, breasts, and brain.

Marijuana is well documented for the many positive results shown in 
persons with migraines and glaucoma.

Marijuana is also effective in treating seizures, and works to stop 
the neurological effects and muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis.

Marijuana slows down the tics in those who are suffering from 
Tourettes, or the obsessive neurological symptoms in people with OCD.

Using marijuana for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) goes all the way back 
to Queen Victoria.

The Scripps Institute, in 2006, proved that the THC in marijuana 
works to prevent Alzheimers by blocking the deposits in the brain 
that lead to this disease.

I would like to tell you more about the many industrial uses of 
marijuana, but that would take another letter!
