How Does Medical Marijuana Work?

Medical marijuana contains compounds which can be used to treat certain debilitating illnesses and diseases and it can also be used to treat cancer. However, how does medical marijuana work? The answer lies in the composition of medical marijuana. Medical marijuana is said to contain a unique healing compound, known as ‘Cannabinol’, and special compounds known as ‘Cannabinoids’.

The Composition of Medical Marijuana 
There are 400 natural compounds in Medical Marijuana in Illinois. Out of these 400 natural compounds, eighty are only found in cannabis plants, which are known as ‘Cannabinoids’. These special compounds relieve many symptoms of illness, by attaching themselves to the brain receptors. Each cannabinoid produces a different psychological and physical effect. This is why certain strains are recommended for treating different medical conditions.

On the other hand, cannabinol, which is another healing compound in medical marijuana in Illinois, proves to be an important element for the treatment of cancer. Studies show that cannabinol has the capability of reducing the risk of cancer and stops the cancer from growing further inside the body. Cannabinol can also switch off the gene which is mainly responsible for the metastasis in many of the aggressive forms of cancer.

What Illnesses Can Be Treated With Medical Marijuana? 
It can be used to treat numbness and muscle spasms, vision, seizures and many more illnesses. Epilepsy, which is a neurological disorder that produces spontaneous seizures, can be treated with medical marijuana. Glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, HIV and AIDS can also be treated with medical Marijuana.

After this latest research, many countries around the world are legalizing medical marijuana dispensaries to promote the treatment of various illnesses through medical marijuana.
