So the American Medical Association is finally admitting after something like 70 years that marijuana has no harmful effects on the body and that it even has multiple medicinal uses. Of course all us smart people already knew this, but apparently they did multiple “studies” to be sure that marijuana was safe and that could be a natural medicine for people with multiple diseases.

“Short term controlled trials indicate that smoked cannabis reduces neuropathic pain, improves appetite and caloric intake especially in patients with reduced muscle mass, and may relieve spasticity and pain in patients with multiple sclerosis.”

Well at least they are taking a step in the right direction; I mean half of the prescription drugs Doctors prescribe patients nowadays are full of harmful side effects and can even lead to death. While with a natural medicine like Marijuana there are hardly any harmful side effects and the patient still benefits.
