In honor of the smoker’s holiday, I though it would be really cool if I explored the benefits of marijuana. I know that it ruffles some individuals’ feathers, but on the list of things the government should be worried about, those who partake in Mary Jane shouldn’t be one. I have never been opposed to marijuana, but I wasn’t an advocate until my mother was diagnosed with Stage IV Endometrial cancer. The benefits are immense.
I stumbled across an article that had a few of the benefits. Check them out :
1. Marijuana slows and stops cancer cells from spreading.
2. Prevents Alzheimer’s.
3. Treats Glaucoma.
4. Relieves Arthritis.
5. Controls Epileptic seizure.
6. Eases the pain of multiple sclerosis.
7. Soothes tremors for people with Parkinson’s disease.
