The drug marijuana or best known as weed has many purposes in someone's life. People use it as recreational or as a medical way. As a medical way they use it to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is a disease in the eye that increases the pressure in your eye causing the human to lose vision. Smoking the weed can stop the glaucoma from spreading and from you becoming blind. Also it helps lung health. In an article i read is states that smoking marijuana does not impair lung function and actually increases your lung capacity. Another way that medical cannabis helps is by controlling epileptic seizure. A professor called Robert J. De Lorenzo gave marijuana to epileptic rats to see what will happen. The marijuana stopped the seizures for about ten hours. When a human takes marijuana the THC acts on the human brain cells making you regulate relaxation so that the seizures stop. The last medical way marijuana can help you is that it stops cancer for spreading. The chemical in the marijuana called CBD is the one that will help cancer from spreading. This chemical turns off a gene called Id-1. For example in breast cancer there are a lot of the genes being reproduced. The cannabidiol or the CBD helps this stop. Well marijuana is being used for all this to help and advance medical purposes.
