Backyard Pharmacies with Medical Marijuana

Here in Brazil, it is now legal to grow marijuana in your backyard, and in at least half of the United States, it is legal. In these troubled times of high stress and higher incidences of chronic disease, it makes perfect sense to grow marijuana plants (they grow like weeds). As a medicine, these gifts from nature compete with anything pharmaceutical companies can produce and sell, and they are much safer regarding side effects. Some of the side effects are rather pleasant, which is why so many people use it for stress reduction or what they call recreational use.

This is all awful news for pharmaceutical companies who have always done their best to keep helpful, valuable, and safe medicines out of the hands of the public. There is very little intelligence in modern medicine, which always recommends dangerous, expensive medicines over natural ones.

There are many ways to administer marijuana, and many of them will not get you high. There is CBD, which is legal almost everywhere because of its very low THC content. Did you know that you can eat organic buds loaded with THC, use it in smoothies; when marijuana is not cooked, it does not get one high but retains all its active medical properties.

Marijuana is an extremely broad-acting and universally valid medicine with appropriate application for most disease conditions. Crohn’s disease patients credit the plant with helping reverse their debilitating intestinal disorders, and accredited research suggests its use in dealing with and preventing diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and assorted maladies arising from chronic inflammation. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer and chemical toxicity from drugs and environmental sources, thus helping to preserve normal cells.

Not many people or physicians realize how helpful or even critical medical marijuana can be in pediatrics – or how it can save children’s lives. We are talking about serious medicine, and the pharmaceutical companies know this.

“It seems to me if one is going to need to use drugs, one ought to consider a relatively safe drug, like marijuana,” said Bernard Rimland, Ph.D. of the Autism Research Institute. Some families have found marijuana to be nothing short of miraculous. Some of the symptoms marijuana has ameliorated include anxiety – even severe anxiety – aggression, panic disorder, generalized rage, tantrums, property destruction, and self-injurious behavior. One mother commenting on using marijuana for her autistic child said, “I know it’s not the end-all answer, but it’s been the best answer for the longest time for us in regards to ALL the other medications. I cannot tell you how many months we would go on a medication, wondering if it was doing anything, anything at all. Here, we can see the difference in 30-60 minutes guaranteed.”

Patients report medical marijuana as more therapeutic
and better tolerated than other medications.

Dr. Rimland continues, saying, “Clearly, medical marijuana is not a drug to be administered lightly. But the reports we are seeing from parents indicate that medical marijuana often works when no other treatments, drug or non-drug, have helped.”

Medical Marijuana Saves Baby’s Life

ABC News reported:

Doctors said two-year-old Cash Hyde would likely die after they found a stage 4 brain tumor surrounding his optic nerve just a year ago this week. And he nearly did. After being subjected to seven different chemotherapy drugs, the little boy from Missoula, Montana, suffered septic shock, a stroke, and pulmonary hemorrhaging.

Cash was so sick he went 40 days without eating. His organs were threatening to shut down. His father, Mike Hyde, intervened, slipping cannabis oil into his son’s feeding tube. Cash, now three, made a miraculous recovery at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, but his father’s bold action—taken behind the doctors’ backs—has raised serious questions about a parent’s role in medical treatment.

Anyone can use marijuana and see for themselves how it affects their pain and disease conditions. In a 400-page analysis of the current state of scientific knowledge on the health risks and benefits of marijuana, medical scientists concluded that marijuana can effectively treat chronic pain. The sweeping National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report covered over 10,000 scientific studies.

“I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on October 18, 2014. I was advised by my doctor that my only options were to get a prostatectomy, have radiation seeds implanted in my prostate, or receive regular external beam radiation. I declined. I knew there had to be other options. I scoured the Internet and discovered a wealth of information about cannabis oil curing cancer. I was able to obtain some medical marijuana oil (Rick Simpson Oil) and consumed the recommended dosage by mid-January. On January 26, I had a cancer reassessment, which consisted of an MRI with a state of the art Tesla 3 MRI machine. Results – NO SIGN OF CANCER! CANCER FREE! One of the things that helped me while going through all this was reading the testimonials and the success stories of those who have used the oil and were cured also with good food diet. Now that this wonderful oil has cured me, I feel I need to let others know as well.”

Conclusion

The bottom line of marijuana is that it mitigates human suffering. It is the best and safest pain medication. It is cheap if you grow it yourself. It is better than any pharmaceutical on the market. It treats cancer. It is a wonderful drug that healthy people can use to keep their stress down.
