Marijuana Is A Powerful Medicine
Scientists have thoroughly proven that marijuana can be used to treat pain, inflammation, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis thanks to a chemical found in the plant called beta-caryophyllene. When smoked, this pushes a biological button, which then soothes the immune system, increases bone mass and blocks pain signals.
Since beta-caryophyllene may prove quite beneficial for users, the chemical itself could become an ideal medication. This could lead to it being developed in pill-form, severing its connection with cannabis and becoming a standalone medication that won’t have you hearing the magic chord. Wait…this is supposed to be good news?
Yes, it is medicine. Even the United States Government knows that (though they won’t admit it). But the fact the Dept. of Health and Human Services filed for and was awarded a patent (#6,630,507) all the way back in 2003 on the medical uses of cannabis, ought to tell you something. Remember, this is a patent awarded, not by, but TO the Government. Spread the word.
