My name is Sam Shakespeare of Boca Raton, Florida. I am a solid supporter and also advocate of clinical marijuana. The disparity of laws across the nation are triggering unneeded injury to families. What some American people can openly take part in, others are mosting likely to prison for as well as households are being disintegrated.
We are discovering more and a lot more concerning marijuana on a daily basis. The exploration of the body’s Endocannabinoid System was a major advancement for the science of medical marijuana. The Endocannabinoid System is a collection of cannabinoid receptors situated throughout the brain as well as main nerve system that are adjoined to the body’s body immune system, and also just interact with substances discovered in marijuana.
We are discovering that clinical marijuana can be a safe and also reliable therapy for the symptoms of AIDS, cancer cells, several sclerosis, pain, epilepsy as well as glaucoma.
New Research Study Has Been Disclosed
A research study by the University of Nottingham shows how particular chemical compounds found in cannabis may help to decrease brain damage complying with a stroke.
The National Cancer Institute’s research has discovered how marijuana can actually safeguard brain cells against the advancement of certain kinds of brain lumps.
This is a little “science-ey”, but a National Institute of Wellness research study finds marijuana might provide a method of resuscitation from cardiac arrest.
In fact, marijuana has more than hundreds of years of medical usage in human history and not even one fatality has been credited to the natural herb. Just as a result of the fact that there is no deadly dosage makes marijuana a lot more practical and also much safer option for treatment to a variety of ailments as well as illness. We understand that using medical marijuana can change the use of specific lawful prescription medicines that have severe adverse effects, like unintended death from overdose, yet these legal prescription medications continue to be lawful although they are much more damaging to the body.
According to the Centers for Disease Control as well as Prevention, even more people passed away from medication overdoses in 2014 than any kind of year on record. Most of those overdoses involve prescription opioids or painkiller (OxyContin, Percocet,. Hydrocodone, etc) Because 1999, prescription opioids sold in the United States has actually almost quadrupled, and so has the number of opioid overdoses. Much of these “painkiller” deaths could have been stopped with the use of medical marijuana. In 2014, more than 14,000 people died from overdoses including recommended pain pills.
Yet the genuine tragedy concerning clinical marijuana is the United States War on Drugs. It has permitted the government as well as numerous state and also local governments throughout the nation to use up armed forces arms against its own people. It has justified the militarization of law enforcement agency across the nation. For a country that claims to be the Land of the Free, we incarcerate more of our very own residents than any other country on the planet. The USA of America has about 2% of the globe’s populace, but it has 25% of the world’s prison population, most of them being pacifist medication transgressors. Over 50% of those being marijuana fees. That’s right, marijuana arrests now make up over half of all medicine arrests in the USA of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001 in 2010, 80% were for merely having marijuana.
As well as the US taxpayer has been footing the bill. According to drugpolicy.org the United States Battle on Medications set you back the American taxpayer over $51 billion each year. As it presently already costs over $30,000 to send to prison a single person for one year.
If the war on medications was working, it ought to make drugs a lot more limited, for this reason driving rates up. In reality, medicine rates have actually remained about the exact same over the past two decades, revealing the Battle on Medicines has had literally no result on the underground market of illegal drugs. The only thing the Battle on Medicines has actually achieved success at is apprehending as well as imprisoning our citizens at a startling price. The one certain method to erase a prohibited black market is to legislate the actual thing that has been made unlawful. This way specific states are currently capturing on and also adding millions and millions to their tax obligation profits yearly. While their residents are appreciating truth meaning of freedom.
