Marijuana has been the subject of research for decades, and many uses for medical marijuana on the body are well-known. It was used to treat gout, malaria, and other conditions in ancient China, and investigation in recent decades has demonstrated its usefulness to help slow the growth of some cancer cells, relieve crippling pain and inflammation from arthritis, lessen pain in those suffering from Crohn’s – a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),
and even to treat Lupus, a systemic autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks its organs and tissues, potentially affecting the kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, or brain and central nervous system.
