Since most public use of marijuana is illegal and certain people use it for pain relief, why not find the?

Question

molecule that kills pain, isolate it, and let people use that?

Would that be breaking the law, too? (I got this from an article

on AOL today~Mar. 14, 2007).

Answer 1

It sounds like it might be THC. You have good ideas, but I don't know if anyone is or can get THC out of the herb or if it's found elsewhere.

"The main active chemical in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). The membranes of certain nerve cells in the brain contain protein receptors that bind to THC. Once securely in place, THC kicks off a series of cellular reactions that ultimately lead to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana."

In California as a qualified patient you are entitled to legally grow, consume and transport marijuana as your medicine. Patients that suffer from migraines, anxiety, anorexia, Glaucoma, depression, cancer, AIDS, asthma and nausea benefit greatly from marijuana. As a legal patient, you can grow six mature plants, or 12 immature plants and carry up to 8 ounces as your personal medicine. Marijuana has been reported to be an effective and preferred treatment for many California patients. Check out this website to see if you pre-qualify www.accsocal.com.

Answer 3

The name of the compound, which is the active ingredient in marijuana is called tetrahydracannabinol (THC). Cannabinoids are illegal, too. In Florida the statute says "cannabis" means all parts of any plant of the genus cannabis, whether growing or not, the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of the plant and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture or preparation of the plant or its seeds or resin."

Answer 4

Possibly. Nor being a medical doctor, I don't know the specific chemical substances in marijuana that alleviate pain, or whether those can be synthesized and/or extracted and used in isolation.

But it's quite likely that those specific chemical compunds are the ones prohibited by the federal govt.

Answer 5

Is the excess that is bad.drug addicts have problems with the excess they use it in from this they get all the effects that you already know.But the use of marijuana is not a bad think.Indians kill their hunger with it.in conclusion anything that is used in excess will hurt you.have a good one!!

Answer 6

It's not that easy. There are many pain killers that exist. It's about health risk.
