Cannabis hits global innovative pharmaceutical industry

Everybody knew all along and the world is tired of waiting perhaps. Good things take a long time to reach reality. Revolutionary cannabis cures are being manufactured just now in all those high tech pharmacy companies. The people in the know have confirmed it and some companies have revealed brand names, formulations and costs too. When are these wonders to be revealed? Any day perhaps just like the whole world waited with bated breath for the Apple smartwatch. Sources indicate that 2016 itself would see the introduction of some of these preparations rather early in the year rather than later.

Uses of cannabis down the ages

  • Cannabis sativa usage dates back to 4000 BCE in China
  • Chinese, Tibetan and Indian cultures used cannabis for ages
  • Seeds and fruits found medicinal uses
  • Seizures, stomach ailments, malaria, severe pains, snakebite
  • Used in religious ceremonies of Buddhists and Hindus for ages
  • Also used as creative recreational drug

What diseases would cannabis treat in modern times?

Epilepsy patients have already received a boost from marijuana though scientific confirmation may be wanting. Anxiety and depressed states are also certainly helped by cannabis consumption in whatever form. Cancer and osteoporosis are next on the list in terms of pain alleviation and bone formation. Inflammation and nerve generation are also believed to be positive uses. Perhaps cannabis would soon be used to treat drug abuse problems and psychotic conditions. Liver fibrosis and Type 2 diabetes are among the diseases cannabis may help control.

Possible adverse effects of cannabis

Adopting a balanced approach, the truth is that certain behavior changes along with physiological and psychological changes could occur in some cases with cannabis use. Cannabis dependence and withdrawal symptoms could happen to lesser or greater degrees. Memory problems and weakened psychomotor skills could be a negative result. Nausea and suicidal thoughts could arise.

Likely cures or alleviation of disease through cannabis

Ongoing research would bring affordable cures to a vast variety of ailments in the near future. Hopefully the whole world would benefit from such wonder cures from what we traditionally considered a devil in disguise. CBD is the active ingredient that would result in possible medicinal cures while THC is the chemical that generates the euphoria. THC may have a beneficial impact upon inflammation and pain besides muscle problems. CBD in addition to control of pain and inflammation would help mental problems and epilepsy. Autoimmune disease that affects the immune system would be particularly helped by cannabis along with several others.
