   Like the others said, it doesn’t cure anything (except lack of appetite), but it greatly alleviates the symptoms of some diseases. Multiple Sclerosis sufferers seem to get a lot of relief from it. People with chronic pain find they can have some relief. And people who are taking other drugs (like chemotherapy or some narcotics) find that the nausea they cause can be almost eliminated by marijuana. Most well known is glaucoma. Marijuana relieves the pressure behind the eyes of glaucoma sufferers.
   Marijuana was a *godsend* when I had chronic pain. My condition has since been fixed, and I no longer need it, but I tell ya, it was wonderful to be able to function normally when I used that.

   i hope 66/40 wasnt trying to make it look bad becuase he just said it fixes thoes things. anyway. basically alot of stuff. Right NOW you can only get it for certain things that are usually more serious, except for people who get it for anything in california, or make up problems. Another reason why it should be legal. There would be a difference between the medical system and the regular use for people. Right now people who dont really need it and get it are making it worse for thoes who actuall need it. Not sure if it fixes anything yet, there was a study that was done that showed it could help brain cell growth. (in The Union-The Buisness Behind Getting High) but besides that it just makes you feel good. It can also CURE people with anorexia and people who are underweight.

   It doesn’t cure anything, what it does do is help with glaucoma, the side effects of chemo treatments and help severely underweight people have an appetite, kill pain and so forth

   Gluacoma, helps anorexia, pain relief, helps cancer victims not get as sick from chemotherapy. This is just a few.

   Insomia and chronic head or back pain, plus terminal illnesses….at least it makes their remaining time more bearable.

   Its used in patients with terminal cancer. It is used for the purposes of pain relief.
