Marijuana used for medical purposes

The use of marijuana for medical purposes is being endorsed by doctors from of the leading medical organisations in the US, the American College of Physicians; this is the second largest medical organisation in America. Its governing body has an approved a statement which will claim that evidence has been found that marijuana can help in a number of illnesses, including AIDS and the effects that cancer patients feel when being treated with chemotherapy.

The problem with using marijuana as a medicine are obvious, and even more serious is the need for research into the properties that this substance has, because of the legal situation getting enough of the product to conduct research and tests is impossible.

If this could be researched fully into how this product can be used in health matter and maybe this could be the product that everyone has been waiting for.
