I don't want any, I've just heard a kid from school needed it, and abused the prescription. I just wanna know some reasons for getting medicinal drugs.

there are many reasons for medical marijuana. most prescriptions are for pain management. a lot of cancer patients are prescribed medical marijuana to assist with dealing with pain that results from chemotherapy and radiation treatments. other reasons medical marijuana might be prescribed are for depression, headaches/migranes and eating disorders.

It's usually prescribed, as a last resort, for any serious PAIN- that does NOT otherwise respond to other pain medications.

Chronic pain. I know a couple of people in chronic pain who self medicate.

You shouldn't use it even if your doctor rcommends it. It's still illegal, because the state government may legalize medical marijuana, but it's illegal in the national government, which hold more power than the state government.

For pain relief. It's generally used in patients who are really, really sick -- like with cancer.

Usually only cancer people or those with a terminal illness use it.

glaucoma, cancer patients (usually the ones on chemo) don't know of any others, but there probably are.
