Recent polls show that
more and more Americans are agreeing to legalize marijuana use. About
40 percent of the survey respondents admitted to having tried
marijuana at least once. The truth is that no definite law legalizes
the use of this addictive substance.
However, scientists and
lawmakers cannot deny the fact that marijuana has certain medical
uses, which makes medical marijuana an important type of drug that is
now legal in many states. According to the National Institute on Drug
Abuse, marijuana has psychoactive or mind-altering properties that
make it an effective ingredient for treating nausea associated with
cancer chemotherapy and stimulating appetite in HIV/AIDS patients
with wasting syndrome.
Some of the conditions
for which marijuana is touted as a promising treatment include
multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, and obesity. Recent
studies even prove that marijuana and its active ingredients have the
power to treat addiction itself. The benefits of this drug, however,
can only be enjoyed through proper use as strictly prescribed by a
physician.
To ensure legal
compliance with the standards on marijuana distribution for
medication, medical marijuana dispensaries employ automated and
highly secure medicine dispensing systems. Any person who requires
medical marijuana use is given only the amount needed for his or her
medication. Exceeding the limit may lead to certain legal charges.
