MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF CANNABIS

For more than 3,500 years marijuana has been one of the most widely used drugs for oriental medicine. From 1850 to 1937 American Pharmacopeia prescribed marijuana for more than 100 separate illnesses or diseases. From 1842 to the 1880's marijuana was one of the most used drugs in the United States to treat the illnesses of adults and children.The American Medical Association testified against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. (Dr. James Woodward, 1937, before Congress). The United States Government forbid marijuana research for 30 years from 1931 to 1961. An active ingredient of marijuana, Delta-9 THC was isolated in 1964-1965 by Israeli scientists. More than 400 of a suspected 1,000 different ingredients of marijuana have been isolated since 1964.Recent research (1966 through 1976) reconfirms marijuana to be the medicine of choice, best and safest, for glaucoma, for epilepsy, for muscular spasms, for reduction of tumors, for control of nausea in cancer chemotherapy, for emphysema, migraine, depression, and anorexia nervosa.Eighty percent of asthmatic - more than 15 million people are affected - could add two to four years to their lifespans, especially children, over the benefits of presently legal and toxic medicines, by using marijuana (UCLA 1969-1975, and Therapeutic Potential for Marijuana, and Life Insurance Actuarial Rates, 1985).Ninety percent of glaucoma victims can benefit from the use of marijuana. California eye doctors will tell their patients, discreetly, to use marijuana to save their eyes. (Harvard; UCLA; Medical College of Georgia; University of North Carolina School of Medicine, 1975; The Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana; and the National Eye Institute). Marijuana is two to three times as effective as any currently legal medicines for reducing ocular pressure, without toxic side effects destroying liver and kidneys, toxic effects associated with present legal glaucoma drugs. As far as the California Marijuana Initiative can determine, no Californian receives marijuana legally for glaucoma, even though California law (1979) allows for medicinal use of marijuana. This provision is not implemented because of the current Federal Natural Marijuana Prohibition, and past California State Attorney General Deukmejians's thwarting of doctors' and researchers' ability to acquire legal supplies of marijuana from him within the program passed by our legislators. (L.A. Times, 1982; and Patrick Mayers).Marijuana is also the supreme dilator of the airways, the bronchi, opening them up to allow more oxygen into the blood. Marijuana is the best dilator of the little air tubes of the lungs, the bronchioles. Marijuana is the best overall bronchiole dilator. (Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, and studies by Taskin at UCLA from 1969 through 1983, and the U.S. Costa Rican Studies, 1982). The original Costa rican Report was ordered suppressed by the Reagan Administration. A copy was snuck out to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. The Reagan Administration and National Institute for Health ordered the Costa Rican Report rewritten three times, then finally rewrote the report themselves. The N.I.H. ordered only 300 copies to be printed. To read the suppressed original Costa Rican Report ordered by the U.S. Government would make you cry. The extrapolations of health potentials are extraordinary.Medical research indicates that light marijuana smoking would be the therapy of choice for mild emphysema to allow more fresh areas of the bronchi to open up for more oxygen transfer, and increase the quality of life greatly for tens of millions of sufferers of emphysema. (UCLA, 1974-1975). All research into the oxygen transfer effects caused by marijuana indicates that chest pains, shallowness of breath, headaches, etc., which are symptomatic of heavy smog exposure are usually alleviated entirely by the light smoking of marijuana throughout the day. (Marijuana Pulmonary Research, Taskin, UCLA, 1969-1983). Marijuana is the best natural expectorant to void lungs of smog.Marijuana completely alleviates most migraine headaches most of the time. It is estimated that, if legal, marijuana would replace more than fifty percent of Valium, Librium, Stellazine, etc. (Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana). Marijuana is the best way presently known to dry the mouth's saliva, in dentistry. If legal, it would replace the highly toxic Probanthine, manufactured by Searle & Co. Marijuana is also the best relaxant and back spasm medicine available short of morphine.Marijuana is the best herb known for reducing malignant and benign tumors. Until 1937 virtually all fistula, corns, and fibrosis were treated with poltices made from or treated with marijuana extracts. (The Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana and Marijuana Medical Papers, 1972).Sixty percent of epileptics can benefit from the use of marijuana. It is considered to be the best medication for many types od epilepsy, and for most victim's post seizure trauma.

(The Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, Cohen/Stillman, UCLA, 1976).The Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Government ordered (then ordered suppressed) studies done at the Medical College of Virginia. After notable success in the research, orders were given by the DEA and the National Institute of Health, to cease all research and reports in 1975. (The Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, and personal interviews with the doctors and researchers who conducted the research, by the California Marijuana Initiative in Washington, D.C., Nov. 1982). This study was ordered originally on the premise that marijuana would harm the immune system, based on studies done by Dr. Gabriel Nahas, Columbia University, 1972. The same Dr. Nahas who said marijuana created chromosome damage, etc. Nahas is still the favorite of DEA and National Institute of Drug Abuse, yet no anti-marijuana studies done by Nahas have ever been replicated in six other university researches. Columbia University disassociated themselves, specifically, from Nahas researches in a University Press Conference in 1975. Old, discredited Nahas studies are still trotted out and used by the DEA today to give unknowledgeable parents, PTA, etc. as valid research regarding marijuana.Marijuana is the best agent for control of nausea in cancer chemotherapy. (UCLA, Dr. Thomas Underleider, head of California's Marijuana for Cancer Research Project, 1979-1983). Patrick Mayers in 1979 was instrumental in getting the California Legislature to pass legislation allowing for medical use of marijuana in California. Mayer's life was saved in 1976 when his doctor advised him, to illegally to use marijuana for his chemotherapy nausea. At the time Mayer's weight was down to 93 pounds. Mayers was shocked in 1981 when Deukmejian, then Attorney General, in charge of the medical supply program, was absolutely refusing to supply the confiscated marijuana he had been legally authorized to dispense to doctors prescribing marijuana for their patients. At this point Mayers convinced the L.A. Times and other public media to demand implementation of the 1979 California Medicine Law.It is estimated by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and by Omni Magazine that Eli Lilly Company; Abbot Laboratories; Smith, Kline, and French, Inc.; etc. would lose hundreds of millions to billions of dollars if marijuana were made legal. U.S. drug companies successfully lobbied the federal government to ban all positive research into marijuana in 1976. In return, the drug companies would take over research into analogues of synthetic THCs, CBSs, CBNs, etc. Eli Lilly Co. came out with Nabilone, a synthetic cousin of Delta-9 THC, promising great results. Nabilone is presently legal to prescribe only in Canada. Omni Magazine states that after nine years Nabilone is still considered virtually useless when compared with real marijuana THC. After spending millions of dollars in research over the last eight years, U.S. drug companies have been unable top synthesize the therapeutic qualities of natural marijuana THC. (Omni Magazine).NORML concludes that the reason drug companies want only synthetic THCs to be legal is to prevent anyone extracting and marketing the natural ingredients of marijuana, interfering with their own monopoly-protected profit. Eli Lilly Co. =would stand to lose a third of their patented monopoly, including Darvon, Tuinal and Seconal patented line. The U.S. drug companies presently supply almost half of all funding for the 4,000 "Families Against Marijuana" type organizations in the U.S. The other half of the funding is from ACTION, a federal VISTA agency.It is interesting to note President Bush's anti drug stance. Bush is one of Eli Lilly Co.'s largest stockholders, and was director of the Eli Lilly Co. from 1977 to 1979. Bush's family owns controlling interest in Eli Lilly Company.
