Several ways Marijuana prevents Skin Cancer - Marijuana on the Brain

This is an excellent study, basically proving Marijuana’s ability to fight off cancerous skin cells (precisely non-melanoma types, which are the most common) while also acting as a pain killer and anti-inflammatory agent!

Cancer always has growth factor components, they facilitate its continual generation, and Marijuana blocks the activity of a few growth factors in several skin cancers.

In addition, it even made the blood vessel generation process very difficult by inhibiting specific steps involved in the creation of new blood vessels.

This new blood vessel development process is called angiogenesis; cannabis contains ANTI-angiogenic factors, which are very important in preventing the spread of cancer.

This is just one of many studies showing cannabis’s effectiveness in fighting tumors. Almost all tumors express the cb1/cb2 receptor class (the receptors weed too), and activation of those receptors usually leads to slowed growth and apoptosis (death).

Marijuana's Positive Effects on Multiple Sclerosis - Marijuana on the Brain

We’ve showcased quite recently how Marijuana can help those with Crohn’s disease and Fibromyalgia.

 

Well, here’s another study looking at how Marijuana can help Multiple Sclerosis. This is a study coming out of Israel, which does a lot of research on Marijuana, that looks at the anti-inflammatory properties of Marijuana, which makes it very important in alleviating symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

 

Multiple sclerosis attacks this central nervous system by causing inflammation in the brain and spinal cord.

 

Marijuana seems to reverse this effect, with a previous study going as far as paralyzing rats to inject them with Cannabinoids, which allowed them to regain their ability to walk.

 

This current study went further into the details to better understand precisely how Cannabinoids, CBDs, and THC help:


Marijuana vs. Vitamin C: Antioxidative Powers - Marijuana on the Brain

This is an excellent study looking at how effective cannabis is as an antioxidant in our brains.

 

The scientists exposed cortical neurons from rats to toxic chemical levels called glutamate (a neurotransmitter) because glutamate toxicity can be reduced with antioxidants. So they intended to test what compounds prove to have antioxidative powers by reducing the glutamate toxicity.

 

They saw that cannabinoids (not just THC and Cannabidiol) are potent antioxidants. Compared to both Vitamin C and Vitamin E in rat brains, marijuana was far superior in protective ability.

 

There are particular ways of measuring toxicity reduction, which clearly show that marijuana is a powerful antioxidant in our brains. There is even a mention of cannabis’s effectiveness following an ischemic episode in your brain (basically a lack of oxygen), a situation that often necessitates a powerful antioxidant.

Benefits of Medical Marijuana Card in Michigan - My MMJ Doctor

Despite the cultural and legal taboos of marijuana use, very few scientifically confirmed long-term side effects from marijuana use. Several studies explain that unlike many prescription drugs, especially prescription pain killers, marijuana has a low potential for dependency. Even more importantly, the consumption of marijuana cannot produce a fatal overdose. The most common side consequences of marijuana use include coughing, wheezing, and bronchitis if marijuana is smoked. These side effects are easily remedied by the use of a vaporizer or by eating foods prepared with marijuana. Individuals with certain psychological conditions, cardiovascular problems, or a history of lung dysfunction may experience more adverse side effects and consult a physician before using medical marijuana.

Does everything happen Marijuana's long-term impacts on the brain?

We were two science geeks who were virgins in high school. We didn't drink, smoke, or do any drugs of any sort. We thought that all of that was not good. We weren't crazy hardcore Christians or Muslims or anything like that. We just listened to what we were told, and everything we seemed to be told about drugs was terrible. It was as if we took one toke of Marijuana that we would end up in a vacant house in some faraway city selling ourselves for our next hit of heroin. But we realized as we slowly advanced through school and learned more about science, biology, chemistry, and how the body works that this was a gross exaggeration. Drugs change the chemistry equilibrium within your body and cause you to feel different. This is true. But it's true of many things; it's true for Marijuana, it's valid for alcohol, and it's even true for prescription pain killers. We held a previously irrational understanding of drugs, and as any student of the sciences can attest,...
