Uses of Medical Marijuana

The use of Marijuana as a medicine is not a new phenomenon; in fact it’s been around for a little over 4000 years.  Historical evidence puts one of the first recorded uses of Medical Marijuana around 2737 BC in China, where marijuana tea was recommended for the treatment of ailments ranging from gout to malaria.

Medical Marijuana, also known as Cannabis, is no stranger to the American pharmacological landscape either.  Medical Marijuana was regularly available to physicians and patients in the USA until the early 1940s.

The medicinal uses of Marijuana and the forms in which you can take Medical Marijuana may surprise you, and you may already be familiar with the many and varied uses of this amazing and natural medicine.

Pain management is the most widely known use of Medical Marijuana.  Medical Marijuana is a safe and natural way to relieve pain, without the side-effect of narcotics.  And Pain management is just the tip of the Medical Marijuana iceberg.

Medical Marijuana is very effective in treating nausea, particularly the nausea associated with chemotherapy and AIDS. Medical Marijuana is also an effective treatment for sleeping disorders, anxiety, respiratory illness, eating disorders, epilepsy, neuropathy, IBS, reflux disease, and many others.

Medimar Ministry’s primary caregiver, Tom Sexton, is trained and certified in the myriad uses of Medical Marijuana, and how to determine the correct dosage and administration method for each patient.

Forms of Medical Marijuana Administration

Just as pain management is the most well-known use of Medical Marijuana; smoking Medical Marijuana is the most widely known way to take Medical Marijuana.  But once again, ingesting Medical Marijuana through smoke is only one of the many forms available, and it is not always the recommended form of use for all ailments.
Medical Marijuana may be taken in a tincture, a pill form and even in edibles like cookies or candies.

It’s Not About Getting High

One of the main misconceptions about Medical Marijuana is that you will have to get high to reap the benefits of this medicine.  Medical Marijuana used according to the recommendation of your caregiver will not leave you with a constant feeling of being high. In fact, Medical Marijuana when used appropriately will leave you more fully able to participate in your life.
