The benefits of marijuana are it gets you high. There are numerous studies linking it to brain abnormalities and psychosis especially if taken by teenagers. I'm all for marijuana reform, I think it should be realized but anyone who tries to claim it fights cancer or turns lead to gold is just misinformed or deluded. It does have great pain control propterties, and it does wonderful things for people with glaucoma, in fact I started smoking pot because I get chronic migraines, and it really helps. It is not a cure for anything though. NOTHING. It cures absolutely nothing.
People should be forced to do research before posting in this sub-forum. Marijuana has a LOT of positive effects on your brain other than getting you high, if you consider that a positive effect.
