Medical cannabis has been used as medicine in various cultures for thousands of years. Long-recognized for its anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing, anti-nausea, calming and other amazing attributes, cannabis is prized for its diversity of benefits.
In recent decades, medical research has once again discovered the amazing health benefits of this herb and states across the country continue to legalize its use for medical patients under the care of their doctors.
Safety
In all the thousands of years of recorded use of cannabis, there are no records of cannabis causing fatalities from ingestion. Cannabis, in essence, does not cause toxification of the body, shut down any organs or cause physical dependence*.
Comparatively, aspirin kills thousands of people annually, yet is sold off the shelf at any grocery store.
Medical cannabis is often the best alternative for patients who require high doses of painkillers because cannabis is not capable of causing any sort of overdose, although it can cause someone to become tired and fall asleep. People with sensitive lungs who use medical cannabis should consider using edible cannabis products rather than smoking the dried flowers.
