Huge Medical Marijuana Study Reference List (700+)
May 22, 2014
What we have come across has got to be one of the biggest list of studies for cannabis ever. This PDF contains links to over 700 studies varied by disease. It is simply massive. We have nothing more to say because we are going to look over these links. Very interesting.

Well, here I am again, staring at this blank screen, trying to figure out what to say so you will share the information I have gathered. ―Once the medical facts about cannabis become known, the need for legalization becomes obvious!‖ How many times have I said that? I need YOU to educate those around you. I can‘t do it alone!
At times, it seems so futile- this never-ending battle against ignorance about cannabis. But I can‘t give up – this simple herb has some amazing uses and people need to know what it can do.
Cannabis should be treated like any other medicinal herb, because that‘s what it is, just an herbal medicine with a rather pleasant side effect- you feel ―high‖. Unlike common aspirin, cannabis never kills by overdose. Compared to some pharmaceutical drugs‘ side effects, the ―cotton-mouth‖, ―red eye‖, ―munchies‖ and ―feeling a just bit too good from using cannabis seems so trivial!
As Americans, we should be free to exercise our right to choose the type of medicines that we take. Anyone exhibiting the first signs of Alzheimer‘s should be able to choose between Aricept, Marinol, or natural cannabis to slow the deposit of mind-clogging amyloid plaque.
“When tested at double the concentration of THC, Aricept blocked plaque formation only 22% as well as THC, and Cognex blocked plaque formation only 7% as well as THC.” (Marijuana May Slow Alzheimer’s – WebMD, 2006)
Marinol is just a capsule of a pure synthetic THC dissolved in sesame oil. It will work, but some people find that it causes anxiety because it lacks CBD (cannabidiol) to balance the THC high.
Natural cannabis has CBD and other cannabinoids in it, which act in a different way to slow the progress of Alzheimer‘s. (―Cannabidiol and other cannabinoids reduce microglial activation in vitro and in vivo: relevance to Alzheimer‘s disease‖ – Molecular Pharmacology, 2011) I know which I would logically choose, but in 2/3s of the US, and everywhere by federal law, that choice is forbidden to us. Our government has banned our best choice!
Then there are thousands facing the severe nausea of chemotherapy- will they be able to keep an anti-nausea pill down long enough for it to work? Wouldn‘t it be simpler to inhale some cannabis vapor, or smoke, and get almost instantaneous relief? In 16 states, you can!
And the pain from cancer? “Medical Marijuana a Success in Israel‖ – “More than two-thirds of cancer patients who were prescribed medical marijuana to combat pain are reportedly satisfied with the treatment” Are we less free than the Israelis? They are free to get legal, prescribed cannabis for cancer pain- are you? Our neighbor, Canada, has legal medical cannabis, and their government grows cannabis for patients! And surprise! The US has 4 federally legal MMJ patients and grows for them. The program is closed. No new patients allowed! Why? And why is cannabis research, all but banned in the US? This prohibitionist foolishness has to end!
2012 is supposed to be a time of change, an ―interesting‖ year. It is time for us to demand a change in the laws on cannabis! We must keep telling the truth, keep presenting the facts to our friends and our families. The facts are there in PubMed- cannabis IS medicine! Our government lies to us about cannabis! And folks- “If the truth won’t do, then something is wrong!”
