Many have known for years, despite widespread propaganda to the contrary, that marijuana has multiple medical benefits. Besides allowing college kids and old hippies a safer (more mellow) buzz than alcohol, the active chemical, THC, offers genuine relief from pain, nausea, sleeplessness, inflammation, anxiety, depression, tense muscles, nervousness.
