They tried everything! but he was dieing becuase he couldnt eat or thrive. so, the father went out and got some marijuana and let his boy have some. soon after... he was asking for meatball grinder! he got better and now is in remission

Marijuana actually has many helpful benefits toward diseases / sicknesses. Marijuana can reduce nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused by AIDS. It can Reduce interlobular pressure, which alleviates the pain and slowing and sometimes even stopping the progress of glaucoma. Common side effects of chemotherapy are nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting, all of which marijuana would help. It can limit muscle pain and relieve tremor nad unsteadiness of gait for multiple sclerosis patients. Marijuana can help prevent epileptic seizures in some patients. It can also alleviate chronic, often debilitating pain caused by myriad disorders and injuries. Each one of these applications have been deemed legitimate by at least one United States court, legislature, and/or government agency.
Good luck in school!

I been smoking for about 14 years, i honestly don't think weed has medicinal properties. Then again it does relieve stress, and it does calm anxiety, at least that's what i experience when smoking.
www.hightimes.com is the main source for everything weed. Im sure you can find a link there that will give you better info.

Likely the worst resource for accurate information on marijuana would be "High Times". Suggest you go to
http://americansforsafeaccess.org
http://www.mpp.org
http://www.norml.org
and the aforementioned http://www.erowid.com

my grandma says they used to boil them drink the water for headaches.
my cousin had a gun powder burns from playing with firecrackers, my nurse aunt says they're gonna cut(amputate) her fingers if they take them to the ER. the soln was marijuana. first treatment was wash the burns with boiled marijuana. the succeeding treatment was fresh saps applied to the burn wounds. result was astounding - no scars whatsoever.
there 2 applications - headaches and burn wounds
