There is all sorts of ongoing research using marijuana as a medicine. It has been shown to be a very good anti-nausea agent for some people. Also shown to reduce the spasticity of certain muscular conditions. It can reduce the fluid pressure in the eye which makes it possible to help people with glaucoma. It is a good anti-anxiety and anti-depressant for some people. Recent research showed that it even killed lung cancer cells.

It this drug were re-scheduled as a Schedule 2 drug then there would be much more research being conducted.

A lot of people will tell you that it has a lot of medical value, or that it is a "herb."

In REAL life, there is no real health benefits from weed. Recently, a study found that all claims of it "curing" people are false. Weed has no medical value whatsoever.

The people telling you that it is helpful are about as reliable as toothpaste commercials. They're more or less, people just looking for some sort of excuse or something to say to keep smoking weed.

It isn't a cure for cancer, rather it raises the risk of lung cancer. Anything telling you that it helps with cancer is simply a lie.

The only real benefit from it is that it can numb pain. But any illegal drug will do the same thing.

EDIT: I didn't hear about the glaucoma thing.
My family has a history of glaucoma, my father has it and he takes eye drops to manage it.

Glaucoma is manageable when caught at the right time. You can even prevent it before it starts to effect you.

Can ever? It always has. It relieves pressure in the eyes. That's why it's prescribed for glaucoma patients, in some states. I have abnormal eye pressure. Last time I went to the eye doctor they said the pressure went down. I knew it was because of my pot experiences.
