“The Health Benefits of Cannabis
1. It Could Help You Lose Weight
2. It Appears to Help Regulate and Prevent Diabetes
3. It Fights Cancer
4. It Can Help Depression
“Using compounds derived from cannabis — marijuana — to restore normal endocannabinoid function could potentially help stabilize moods and ease depression,” said Samir Haj-Dahmane, who is spearheading the research at Buffalo University – research that is only just now beginning to ramp up.
5. It’s Showing Promise in Treating Autism
6. It Provides a Safer Alternative to Other Drugs and Alcohol
Cannabis can be harmful if you use it irresponsibly, but it’s nowhere near as destructive as alcohol for example. With wider availability, cannabis can and will become a substance of choice – and likely save a lot of lives (and livers) in the process.
7. It Helps Regulate Seizures for a lot of People
Using medical cannabis to regulate seizures is another one of the more high-profile findings coming out of medical science. For folks with disorders like Epilepsy, cannabis is showing immense promise.

first off, kids already smoke….they are hooked on heroin for god sakes. these geezers need to realize weed only leads to other stuff when you want it to. ive smoked for years and not once was ever tempted to try anything else. thats a cop out for people who just dont want it legal
The cop is 100 correct. The gathering was nothing more than a dog and pony show to make it appear to the stupid that this law isn't at least 90% written if not already down the pipe. Pun intended.
This is a racist law that ignores minorities who are against legalization and suggests that minorities are automatically 100% lock step in favor of the proposal.
The same politicians and same activist screaming out catch phrases like "discrimination" and "systemic oppression" have not a single word of consideration or argument of substance when minorities from the same communities point out the relationship between high usage and low level of education completed, high usage and low income, high usage and teen pregnancies, birth defects, high usage and unemployment.
This is about money and bringing the plantation back to order. Entitlements no longer work to control minorities at the polls. Abortion vouchers don't work. So now to keep the voting block solid and stop the hemorrhage of losing voters to Socialists or G#d forbid -Trump, they're using marijuana.
This is why it should be legal nothing makes sense anymore how come prostitution isn’t under fire ? Spreading of stds and murdering babies are way more serious issues
"They want to make money" No. They make money by arresting people for a plant. "Think of the children" middle and high schools are already full of pot.
