Medical
marijuana has been proven to have several benefits that could help treat many
health conditions. Although there are states that still consider this as a
dangerous drug, a number of states in the U.S. has pardoned this and given
patients limited access to the drug, so long as they use it for medical
purposes only.
What
many people fear about the use of marijuana is the intoxication and “high”
feeling that they may get. However, with limited usage, there are real benefits
that they could get from it. Some of the popular benefits of using medical
marijuana include relieving nausea and pain, boosting appetite, acting as an
anti-depressant, and treating muscle tension and spasms.
To
get access to medical marijuana, a patient must first consult their doctor and
see if he would recommend its use. There are other legal medicine and
treatments that could be used as a substitute for medical marijuana, but some
physicians may decide on recommending marijuana because it has been seen as a
more effective treatment than using other kinds of drugs.
In
some states, the use of medical marijuana dispensaries, which are facilities
with ATM-like machines that could give a patient the right amount of dosage.
Patients would need the recommendation of a doctor as well as a letter that
explains the diagnosis and choice of the doctor. Some states issue I.D. cards
that patients could use.
