The recreational use of marijuana is still controversial, but research regarding the positive effects of marijuana on the body and mind has been going on for quite some time now. The use of marijuana comes with multiple benefits. Some of the benefits are widely known now, but some are yet to become common knowledge. From slowing down cancer, preventing Alzheimer, and dealing with arthritis, marijuana comes with more than one positive effect. Thus, it is quite natural that marijuana is becoming increasingly popular for medical purposes.

The top benefits associated with marijuana

As mentioned before, the benefits of marijuana are multiple, and some of the best ones among them are listed below.

Slows down cancer:


Several types of research have shown that the CBD content of marijuana can prevent cancer from spreading in your body. When breast cancer cells were experimented in the lab by treatment with CBD, the results were positive. The cells showcased less aggressive spread of cancer. It is also known to slow down the growth of a tumor in the lungs, breast, and brain.

 

Preventing Alzheimer:


Anyone who has lost or lives with a person having Alzheimer’s understands how difficult it can be for the friends and family of the affected. The active ingredient in marijuana, THC, is known to slow down the progression of the disease. The effects of marijuana block the enzymes in the brain that creates amyloid plaques that kill the brain cells and lead to the disease. 

 

Treating hepatitis C:


The treatment of hepatitis C has some severe side effects. This factor makes many people unable to continue the treatment. The side effects of the treatment can last for many months. However, the treatment with medical marijuana shows fewer side effects than usual and the effectiveness of the treatment is increased considerably.

 

Support for chemotherapy:


Medical marijuana is used widely by the people who are going through chemotherapy. People who have cancer are prone to experiencing severe nausea, pain, loss of appetite, and vomiting leading to more complications. Marijuana can help in reducing these side effects.

 

Controlling PTSD symptoms:

PTSD is associated with signs of anxiety and people using marijuana will not experience such severe symptoms of the disorder when they get marijuana from a reliable dispensary. The CBDs are occurring naturally, same as the THC; assist in controlling the systems that lead to these effects rising in the brain and body.

There are several great benefits associated with marijuana, but care must be taken that you do not over consume it. It is also crucial to ensure that you get good quality of the product to ensure that the benefits are delivered.
