Marijuana (cannabis) is the most widely used illegal drug among youths in both developed and developing countries. Medical studies have shown that the active ingredient in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), might provide some medical benefits in some patients.
Numerous studies have been performed in the past, with most concentrating on the analgesic properties of cannabis and its derivatives.

Here are some health benefits of marijuana:

⦁ It Can be Used to Treat Glaucoma: Though without much experience on this, marijuana can be used to treat and prevent this eye disease known as glaucoma. Glaucoma increases pressure in the eyeball, damaging the optic nerve and causing loss of vision. The effect of marijuana may slow the progression of the disease thereby prevent the patient from blindness.

⦁ It Improves Lung Health: Being a living testimony to this, marijuana does not impair lung function and can even increase lung capacity. Smoking of marijuana has no effect to the lungs, rather in cases of Emphysema marijuana tends to reduce such illness but also increase your risk in lung cancer by frequent usage. Please note that smoking of Cigarette damages the lungs and its very harmful to health.


⦁ Marijuana can Help People Trying to Cut Back on Drinking: Having tested both marijuana and alcohol, i came to the conclusion that Marijuana is safer than alcohol. That’s not to say it’s completely risk free, but it’s much less addictive and doesn’t cause nearly as much physical damage. Disorders like alcoholism involve disruptions in the endocannabinoid system. Because of that, some people think cannabis might help patients struggling with those disorders.


⦁ It Help in Reducing Weight: Weed users have been shown to be slimmer, on average, than non-users. That’s because cannabis helps the body regulate insulin production, and manage caloric intake more efficiently. This i can gladly say helped my bestie during obesity therapy, though it is efficient in weight loss, frequent usage may affect the brain.


⦁ It Slows the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease: Marijuana may be able to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. THC slows the formation of amyloid plaques by blocking the enzyme in the brain that makes them. These plaques are what kill brain cells and cause Alzheimer’s Disease.


⦁ It Can Help Control Epileptic Seizures: Cannabinoids like the active ingredients in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as THC), control seizures by binding to the brain cells responsible for controlling excitability and regulating relaxation, thereby reducing epileptic seizures.

⦁ It Stops the Spread of Cancer: Cannabinoids stops the spread of certain types of cancer. It stops cancer by turning off a gene called Id-1, Cancer cells make more copies of this gene than non-cancerous cells, and it helps them spread through the body.

⦁ It Treats Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis could be of benefit from the usage of marijuana. THC-like compounds made by the body increase the permeability of the intestines, allowing bacteria in. The plant-derived cannabinoids in marijuana block these body-cannabinoids, preventing this permeability and making the intestinal cells bond together tighter.


⦁ It Can Help Depression: Using Cannabinoid Substance, Marijuana could help in stabilizing moods and ease depression. Though this was useful to me during my last emotion breakdown, it doesn’t take away depression but only make you feel good for some time.


⦁ It Improves your Metabolism: We are touched on how cannabis helps your body process and deal with food, and obesity. This plays into how it also helps maintain and regulate your metabolism. That not only means sticking to an ideal weight level but generally being healthier and happier!

⦁ It Helps Those Living with Hiv/Aids: Cannabis can’t directly cure the AIDS virus, but it can and does help those living with it cope. Specifically, cannabis helps those living with AIDS/HIV maintain their diets and handle associated pains and aches.

⦁ It Relieves Arthritis Discomfort: Marijuana alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes sleep, which may help relieve pain and discomfort for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with this conditions are given Sativex which has a constitutes of cannabinoid which reduces their pain and enhance their sleeping condition.


Though cannabis has lots of benefits, but its abuse or recreational misuse can cause more harm than good. With all the benefits listed above, certain dosage are being prescribed in other to avoid cannabinoid substance affecting your brain thereby leading to psychotic disorder.
