Some people prefer rolling it into a joint while other prefer brewing it as tea Air Max 270 Flyknit Sale , mixing it with food, or smoking it in a pipe. Tetrahydrocannabino, its active ingredient, acts as a mild sedative that makes people feel chilled out, sleepy, or relaxed. It is also known for causing mild hallucinogenic effects, nausea, or even hunger. Others who use cannabis for recreation may also become more animated, giggly, or talkative as it releases their inhibitions. Even before scientists discovered that cannabis cures cancer, its derivatives have already been used for medical treatment. However, its complex substances make it difficult for medical research to confirm its efficacy or safety so most of its effects are far from being well-understood. However, cannabis appears to be useful in reducing the adverse effects of chemotherapy and other established medications. Anti-cancer drugs are among the most toxic and powerful chemicals used in medicine so they may produce nasty side effects such as nausea and vomiting. By relieving nausea, cannabis allows patients to eat better and live normally. Before the idea that cannabis cures cancer was confirmed, its extracts were also proven useful for patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. However, some studies also suggest that most of its benefits come from making people feel more relaxed whenever they take a medical derivative of cannabis. While research shows that the use of marijuana shows no reduction muscle spasticity, scientific claims have been made for the use of cannabis in treating asthma, headaches, migraine, stroke, Alzheimers disease, and even Parkinson’s disease. A number of rehabilitation facilities also use it to help patients overcome alcoholism. Does cannabis cure cancer? No one has probably imagined that someday, cannabis may serve as a glint of hope for cancer patients. Government officials of the United States have deliberately ignored the research indicating that cannabis cures cancer by inhibiting the growth of certain malignant tumors. A recent publication of three clinical studies also revealed that the medicinal value of marijuana is actually far greater than ever assumed. While the powerful compounds in cannabis have already been used to alleviate the pain caused by cancer and other health conditions, some studies also confirmed its capability of preventing tumor cells from getting out of control. Last year, over five scientific journals have already published their findings to confirm the belief that cannabis cures cancer. A trial data published in the Journal of the American Society of Clinical Investigation confirmed that cannabinoids may inhibit the growth of skin tumor in mice. Scientists who conducted the study confirmed that the local administration of cannabis cures cancer, thus making it an alternative approach to curing non-melanoma skin cancer. In the 2003 issue of FASEB Journal, the local administration of cannabis derivatives also inhibited the tissue growth of brain tumors. These studies continue to spark the curiosity of those who wish to uncover the medical value of marijuana use. In the October 2003 issue of Nature Reviews Cancer, a clinical review also concluded that cannabis cures cancer by inhibiting the growth of tumors that may cause thyroid epithelioma, lung cancer, leukemia, uterus cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. It also concluded that marijuana can cure neuroblastoma, a malignant tumor that originates in the automatic nervous system and occurs more often in young children and infants. Finally, the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics also concluded that the administration of a cannabis derivative may stop the growth of cancer cells.
