 The impact of the decision surely will create ripples around the world. There is so much talk for and against the use of cannabis for medical or recreational use; this article is not about the discuss on the use of cannabis, however, my opinion is for anybody who is down with it , to go ahead and use and most of all  accept other peoples ‘opinions and feelings concerning the drug . However, below are the top five ailments, where cannabis has been used to reduce significantly, the symptoms of the mentioned diseases and to speak out your thoughts, these results are hotly been contested;

1.  Cancer

Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals and also kill cancer cells.

2. Tourette’sSyndrome

        Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by uncontrollable facial grimaces and            involuntary grunts.

         A single dose of the cannabinol produced a significant reduction in symptoms for several hours                 compared to placebo, the researchers reported.

3. Seizures

Marijuana is a muscle relaxant and has “antispasmodic” qualities that have proven to be a very effective treatment for seizures. There are actually countless cases of people suffering from seizures that have only been able to function better through the use of marijuana.

4. Migraines

There are reported cases of treatment of migraines using marijuana. Doctors and scientists differ on the efficacy of the drug. More than 300,000 cases have been treated using the drug in California. 

5. Glaucoma 

Marijuana’s treatment of glaucoma has been one of the best documented. There isn’t a single valid study that exists that disproves marijuana’s very powerful and popular effects on glaucoma patients.

Whatever be your fancy, play safe.
