In South Asia, for example, there are many relogeous groups who incorporate cannabis into meditation practices, as a mean of stop the mind and enter into a state of serenity called Samadhi. Also, the cannabis is used in medicine as a tool of pain reliever and it’s part of important treatments on diseases such as cancer, epilepsy and others. This medicinal use of marijuana is a “Tabú” among healthcare systems all over the world, and because of that thousands of patients who can benefit from cannabis are not getting the treatment they need. For all those painful treatments that are out there, marijuana could be used as a tool of
relieving some of the patient’s pain. On patients with eating troubles it could be used to induce apetite and stop the nauseas that the illness causes. In the case of epileptic patients is proved that marijuana dramatically reduce seizures, currently in Colorado over a hundred families are treating their
children with cannabis in a very effective way. Other uses of medicinal marijuana are for traumatic brain injuries, alzheimer’s like brain changes, bipolar disorder and lots of others. “I wouldn’t be able to stay here and talk without the benefits of medicinal cannabis”. Those were the words of Eva Losey-Grossman on an interview for marihuana-medicinal.com. Like Eva there are hundred of patients who benefit for the use of cannabis. However, there are millions of people who are unaware of the medicinal use of cannabis, people that are waiting for a treatment like this. Will you be part of the green secret’s burial?
