“For over 4,000 years’ marijuana, has been used medicinally, recreationally and in religious ceremonies in cultures across the globe” (Vrana 2) “Scientists have identified many biologically active components in marijuana. These are called cannabinoids.” (Welsh 1) There is an immense amount of evidence demonstrating the therapeutic benefits of marijuana. Proven evidence as shown in scholarly journals, enhance research and books explaining the shockingly positive outcomes of the medicinal cannabis. The benefits include in alleviating seizures, alleviating Parkinson’s Disease, and how it can affect symptoms of cancer. Astonishing evidence has shown and proven on how it has become such a great deal into today’s date. The unimaginable amounts of

In many studies, it has been clinically proven that medicinal cannabis decreases seizures by an average of 54% in 137 people who completed 12 week on Epidolex (medicinalmarajianaand epilepsy). Epidolex is liquid formulation of cannabinoid tested by the GW Pharmaceuticals. Their treatments have been proven positive in most cases studied. This drug benefits in various amounts of seizures such as epileptic seizures, and the sever seizure disorder known as Dravet’s syndrome. Epileptic seizures occur when the nerve cell activity is disturbed in the brain causing epileptic seizures. Epilepsy could come as a genetic disorder or in any traumatic brain incident. In many cases epilepsy, may be treated by surgery or medication. Many patients may dislike the medication because of the negative side effects. Such as drowsiness, memory, mood swings, and lack of motivation. Which is why some patients tend to turn to medicinal marijuana. Medical Cannabis does not leave one with the negative side effects such as the medications the medications do. The alleviant medicine has it pros and cons. The pros on the side of the medication helps prevention of the seizures. But the cons end up with memory loss, …show more content…
“Researchers are testing marijuana, as a treatment for many illnesses and diseases including neurological conditions with Parkinson’s disease high on the list.” (Parkinson.org 1) Behind it all, physicians have prescribed millions of prescribed medications that have been “proven” as a medication to control tremors. But, excluding the mass amounts of medication taken such as levodopa, amantamdine, orphenadrine (as well as handful of others) these drugs could only do so much, but calm the tremors with the horrendous amounts of side effects. The unfortunate side effects include nausea, sleepiness, dizziness headaches, vomiting, hallucinations, and plenty others that patients could only bare to have for so long. Marijuana contains more than 100 neuroactive chemicals the work with two types of cannabinoid receptors, type 1 (CB1) located in the brain and type 2 (CB2) located in the peripheral immune system. (Parkinson.org 2) There are two different molecules that interact with the plants receptors called agonists and antagonists. They both collaborate by sending a natural receptor that causes the “calming effect”. Therefore, releasing a chemical release throughout the body, giving the patient total control of movement leaving rare to no signs of tremors (unintentional rhythmic muscle movement) of the arms and limbs, as well control of muscle stiffness for the certain amount of time it is taken. Throughout the time
