The most remarkable benefits of cannabis
There are many reasons why people choose to consume marijuana, including its ability to relieve pain, improve sleep, help them relax, and even treat cancer.
Here are a few ways marijuana has been proven to be beneficial:
1- It inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells.
As cannabidiol (CBD) has certain anti-proliferators (inhibit cellular growth) properties, it may be useful in combating a myriad of cancers. For instance, CBD could inhibit the expression of Id-1, which is responsible for metastasizing breast cancer cells.
2- Manages Epileptic Seizures.
CBD has been proven effective in treating severe, intractable seizures in children and young people. A double-blind study found that it was safe for use in both children under 18 years old and adolescents aged 18–21.
3- Reduces nausea and vomiting.
Cannabinoids, specifically CBD and THC, can help relieve nausea and prevent vomiting by activating the somatodendritic 5-HT(1A) autoreceptor in the brain. Not to mention that you can consume it in delicious edibles without worrying, as there are no calories in weed.
4- Reduces pain and inflammation.
One of the most commonly mentioned benefits of using marijuana is its ability to relieve chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pains. A recent study found that cannabidiol targets glycinesreceptores (GlyRs) involved in both types of pain.
5- Lower Feelings of Anxiety and Phobia.
The powerful anti-anxiety effects of cannabidiol (CBD), found in cannabis plants, have been shown in animal and human research. In 2011, Brazilian scientists conducted a small double-blind trial, finding that CBD was effective at reducing anxiety in people with social phobia.
6- Helps you sleep better.
CBD has been shown to help people relax, so if you’re looking for a natural way to get some rest, then CBD might be able to help. However, there haven’t been any studies done yet on whether combining CBD and THC could actually give you better results than either one alone.
7- Manages Bipolar Disorder
According to researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, CBD has the potential to act as an effective treatment for bipolar disorder. It may improve cognitive functioning and reduce symptoms associated with the condition.
Conclusion:
The benefits of marijuana are wide-ranging, longstanding, and supported by scientific and medical evidence. Cannabinoids such as THC, CBD, and CBN have specific therapeutic properties that can help treat a number of health issues including epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, depression, and multiple sclerosis.
Marijuana may also provide relief for people suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Parkinson’s disease, and various forms of arthritis. In addition to these benefits, marijuana may also help reduce symptoms associated with HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and migraines.
So without a doubt, marijuana is a component that can be quite beneficial for all human beings! We must promote its legalization and of course, initiate more studies to prove its benefits.
