The Hemp Solution – Chapter 7 – Cannabis Medicine
In Chapter 7, it is seen that prohibition is still preventing cannabis medicine from helping millions of potential patients in many parts of the world, but in recent years, many places have legalized medical cannabis including 15 US states, Canada and many European countries. Scientific research is making remarkable discoveries about cannabinoids found in cannabis as well as in the endocannabinoid system in our bodies. The healing potential of cannabis continues to expand beyond our expectations. US government research has discovered that THC kills cancer cells and people like Canada’s Rick Simpson have found that concentrated cannabis oil has cured cancer and other chronic illnesses. Marijuana medicine is still meeting tough resistance from the medical and legal establishment but the tide is turning and this natural medicine is taking its rightful place as a master healer.
