that chronic marijuana smoking is associated with respiratory symptoms and changes on lung function (Caplan). The smoke from a marijuana cigarette is similar to smoke from a tobacco cigarette qualitatively, with the exception of the content of cannabinoids and tobacco alkaloids. They differ quantitatively in the concentrations of individual carcinogens; marijuana smoke contains about fifty percent more of the carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco cigarettes do.

Most symptoms of marijuana are attributed to the THC component and occur due to the presence of cannabinoid receptors in the central nervous system (Cavalet 41). It creates many affects to the body such as dizziness, impaired motor function, perceptual alterations and problems such as these, but because of the part of the body that marijuana affects,…

are proven by scientific studies along with scientifically gathered statistics. Stats have shown a huge decrease in marijuana related crimes as well as an increase in resources made available to law enforcement. Science has proven that marijuana/cannabinoids are effective in treating cancers or side effects from cancer along with many other illnesses. I also feel that marijuana can be grown more cost efficiently than that of trying to mass produce medications that in themselves cause addiction…

to assume that medical marijuana is utilized and proven to have effective medicinal properties. The medicinal properties of medical marijuana come from the chemical components, cannabinoids. Cannabinoids, activate receptors in the central nervous system and the immune system. The effects of medical marijuana’s cannabinoids on the human body, are analgesic, anticonvulsant, and anti-inflammatory. As a result, medical marijuana, is an effective method of treating certain illnesses (Cancer.gov,…

“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…

This thesis mainly focused on analysis approaches of twenty potential isomeric and designer drugs of 1-pentylacylindoles series of synthetic cannabinoids compounds associated mainly with naphthoylindoles and benzoylindoles structures, via using various analytical methods. These isomers and analogs represent potential designer modification of banned drugs and show the same elemental composition and yielding identical nominal, exact masses and general analytical properties which make the potential…

tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects. It acts much like the cannabinoid chemicals made naturally by the body, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).” The lower percentage of tetrahydrocannabinol reduces the psychological effects and allows the cannabidiol to provide its benefits.

The only way to prescribe medical marijuana would be if the child is enrolled in a clinical trial; however, for many, marijuana is helping with epilepsy. Most doctors do not want to harm any…
