Marijuana has many medical purposes also. The cannabis extract was available as a medicine legally in this country until 1937, and sold as a nerve tonic-but mankind has been using cannabis much longer than that.

Marijuana appears in almost every known book of medicine written by ancient scholars and wise men.

It is usually ranked among the top medicines, called 'panaceas', a word which means 'cure-all'.
The list of diseases which cannabis can be used for includes: multiple sclerosis, cancer treatment, AIDS (and AIDS treatment), glaucoma, depression, epilepsy, migraine headaches, asthma, pruritis, sclerodoma, severe pain, and dystonia.

This list does not even consider the other medicines which can be made out of marijuana-these are just some of the illnesses for which people smoke or eat whole marijuana today.

There are over 60 chemicals in marijuana which may have medical uses. It is relatively easy to extract these
into food or beverage, or into some sort of lotion, using butter, fat, oil, or alcohol.

One chemical, cannabinol, may be useful to help people who cannot sleep. Another is taken from premature buds and is called cannabidiolic acid.

It is a powerful disinfectant.

Marijuana dissolved in rubbing alcohol helps people with the skin disease herpes control their sores, and a salve like this was one of the earliest medical uses for cannabis.

The leaves were once used in bandages and a
relaxing non-psychoactive herbal tea can be made from small cannabis stems.

Also cannabis, as any other biomass fuels, are clean burning and do not increase the amount of CO2 the atmosphere, therefore making breathing easier for may people.
