April 13, 2010

Colorado Amendment 20, which passed in 2000, made medical marijuana use legal in the state of Colorado. Since then, the phrases, Medical marijuana card, medical marijuana dispensary, medical marijuana provider, and medical marijuana clinics, became part of our vernacular.

Many experts believe that medical marijuana and the healing properties of marijuana offer relief for a variety of crippling medical conditions like nausea from chemotherapy, chronic or severe pain, aids, cancer, and glaucoma.

In order to obtain your medical marijuana card, you’ll need a recommendation from a physician, which is the first step to obtain a Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry Card. The fee to apply, in Colorado is $90, and the card is good for one year.

Once you have an MMJ card, you’ll be able to buy marijuana for medicinal uses from one of the many medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado.

Are you a candidate for medical marijuana? Many users tout the benefits of using marijuana, and it can be an effective, natural, alternative medicine. You’ve heard all the jokes, but in any good joke there’s a thread of truth. The medicinal properties of marijuana are shown to stimulate appetite, provide relief for nausea, and act as a muscle relaxant.

Don’t suffer any more. Ask your doctor or visit a Colorado Dispensary to learn more. Arm yourself with as many marijuana medical facts as you can.

Healing Properties of Marijuana

April 6, 2010

In the early 1940s, in a response to claims made by people like Harry Anslinger, the New York Academy of Medicine contradicted claims that marijuana results in insanity, assists in criminal behavior, is physically addictive and is a gateway drug to harder drugs. No major study has been undertaken since, according to a panel discussion held recently in Denver, CO.
The Objective Discussion on Medical Marijuana panel continues at the DU law school this week.

The Denver Daily News reports on yesterday’s discussion. The key graph:

Alice P. Mead, a spokeswoman for a British research company that develops a medical spray from marijuana, argued that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should regulate marijuana if doctors are recommending it to patients. She said the FDA process has been carefully crafted for more than 100 years, and while not foolproof, gives medical professionals the information on the purity, potency and identity of a product.
