The Unlikely Story of Medicinal Cannabis
The story of medicinal cannabis is a long and winding one. For centuries, cannabis was used as a medicine in many cultures around the world. In the early 1900s, however, cannabis was outlawed in many countries, including the United States. This ban was based on the belief that cannabis was a dangerous drug with no medicinal value.
In the 1970s, a growing body of research began to challenge the idea that cannabis was a dangerous drug. Studies showed that cannabis could be effective in treating a variety of ailments, including pain, nausea, and anxiety. This research led to the legalization of medical cannabis in many states.
Today, medical cannabis is used by millions of people around the world. It is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of conditions. Medical cannabis has helped to improve the lives of countless people, and it is likely to continue to play an important role in medicine for years to come.
