I've already covered legalization of marijuana and its history. If there's one thing that is common between those two topics its the medical aspect. What is marijuana's potential use as a treatment option for various ailments? Marijuana has been used for healing and ceremonial purposes for centuries and now it is gaining traction as a medical treatment option.
I remeber taking a class at the local community college around 2005. I was working toward an Associates degree in psychology and the class was about statistical analysis and how it was used in psychology. Almost one whole day of that class was about marijuana studies, or rather the lack of them. I am fairly certain that wasn't the plan for the day but a fellow student brought it up and nearly everyone in the class had something to say about it.
From what I remember the professor was trying to be neutral, on the topic but the gist of what my professor had to say was that due to the laws against marijuana there was virtually no funding going toward medical marijuana studies and even less private studies being done.
One of the most well-known claimed benefits of using marijuana for medicinal purposes is its ability to alleviate pain. And not just any pain, chronic pain that can seriously impact the quality of life for people with medical conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
On the Internet I have found several videos that show how people with Parkinson's disease reduce considerably their spasms when consuming marijuana, I do not know the veracity of these videos, but it is something that should be studied.
