Marijuana has always been a topic of dispute between its users and government. With time passing by, it is becoming more challenging to refuse the beneficial medicinal value of this plant. This easy to swallow medicine is available in different forms like baked goods, butter, oils, and other natural forms. Just like any other natural herb, there’s nothing like ‘overdosing’ in the dictionary of medical marijuana, and there is no record in medical history of cannabis-induced death so far.

   · Apart from increasing appetite in HIV patients, it is also effective in soothing the associated neuropathic pain thereby improving the quality of life.

   · Many women use marijuana to treat menstrual cramps, and menopausal women have found great relief by using marijuana while struggling with hot flashes, mood swings, and chills.
