I have been using oil for a number of years after Doctors had me on a cocktail of pain meds that made me barely functional and I’m not exaggerating when I say it has saved my life. It’s a shame in Australia the red tape and hoops you need to jump through to get it legally.
I never did drugs, weed , alcohol growing up but now when i do weed recreationally i see life in a different way it opens up different modes of thinking for me. Things that were “absolute” to me are more malleable and evolving as marijuana gives you answers that were there all along but it kinda turns off your ego in a very subtle way making you more compassionate, loving and understanding of circumstances, people and things. You realise in essence life is just self discovery to know thyself by being kind and spreading love. Theres nothing more to it
I was in a narcotic “coma” for 20 years b/c I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was put on up to 5 narcotics at once including fentanyl, OxyContin and morphine. In addition to this I was taking about 10-15 other medications for other symptoms including anxiety, depression, insomnia and IBS. Five years ago my state legalized medical cannabis for some conditions. I tried it and it helps my anxiety, depression, sleep, pain, and appetite all in one product. Can Big Pharma do the same? I think NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a medical cannabis patient for my very bad IBS I’ve gone from barely being able to leave the restroom some days in agonizing pain all the way to holding down a good job
Reality hurts when you grow older and discover that Marijuana, which used to be taught as dangerous and illegal, was more beneficial to people with serious medical problems. With the right dosage and guidance, Marijuana can help and save many people’s lives.
I’ve always had really poor school performance always Fs and Ds from pre-k to 11th grade I wasn’t a bad kid or anything never got in trouble. But I started experimenting with it during summer and went into 12th grade using and my grades boosted like crazy my self confidence and I was able to pay attention so much easier and I was able to learn better but I decided to quit 1 months back and my grades plummeted it’s been very hard to pass classes now and focus on my school work.
I'm am one of those people that are very hesitant with the use of Marijuana in a medical situation. I"m still combing through research articles to find a definitive stance on the matter. Although this TedTalk does raise some good data and points (much of which I've read through as well), I am still hesitant and think that there are several ethical considerations to include like:
Patient autonomy: Patients have the right to make informed decisions about their own healthcare. If a patient feels that medical marijuana may help alleviate their symptoms, they should be able to access it. However, there may be cases where a patient is not capable of making a fully informed decision, such as in the case of minors or those with impaired cognitive abilities. Beneficence: Medical professionals have a duty to act in the best interests of their patients. If medical marijuana can provide relief for a patient's symptoms, then it may be seen as beneficial to prescribe it. However, there is still some controversy surrounding the effectiveness of medical marijuana for certain conditions. Non-maleficence: Medical professionals have a duty to do no harm to their patients. While medical marijuana may be helpful for some patients, there are potential side effects, including cognitive impairment and addiction. It is important for healthcare providers to weigh the potential benefits against the risks when deciding whether or not to recommend medical marijuana. Justice: The use of medical marijuana should be accessible to all patients who could potentially benefit from it, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location. However, there may be challenges in providing access to medical marijuana, particularly in areas where it is illegal or stigmatized. Social responsibility: The use of medical marijuana should be based on scientific evidence and clinical research. This can be difficult given the legal restrictions on marijuana research in some countries. Healthcare providers have a responsibility to be transparent with patients about the potential benefits and risks of medical marijuana.
It is that last point where I get stuck on and leans me towards hesitancy on the use of medical marijuana. I believe that many times people take advantage of such system which makes it hard to decipher when to prescribe for true and intense purposes. As a future physician, Id rather lean on other remedies first before considering the use of medical Marijuana. Currently in my medical school, there isn't much debate as to the subject. What are your thoughts on improving the system so that all future physicians can come out with more knowledge regarding the ethical use of such controversial subjects?

Medical marijuana has been up for debate as there has been many discussions on how it fits into government policies and whether or not scientific research is strong enough to support its use. One of the statements made included the need to look at evidence from research and allow the use of medical marijuana because of the therapeutic effects from its ingredients. Utilitarianism would back this because the benefit of relieving patients from pain and unfavorable physical conditions outweighs the cost of possible upset over legal issues. One who practices ethics of care would agree with the utilitarian and state that emphasis should be placed on compassion for the patient.
I enjoyed this talk! One topic that kept going through my mind was about the ethics of medical marijuana use, especially viewed through the lens of a few principles of ethics such as beneficience and non-maleficence.
Beneficence refers to the obligation of healthcare providers to act in the best interest of their patients. In the context of medical marijuana use, this principle suggests that healthcare providers should consider the potential benefits of using medical marijuana to alleviate symptoms or treat medical conditions. For example, medical marijuana has been shown to be effective in managing chronic pain, nausea, and muscle spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis.
Non-maleficence refers to the obligation to avoid harm or minimize the risk of harm to patients. In the context of medical marijuana use, this principle suggests that healthcare providers should consider the potential risks of using medical marijuana, such as the risk of addiction, impairment of cognitive function, and the potential for adverse drug interactions. Healthcare providers should carefully weigh the potential benefits of medical marijuana against its potential risks before recommending it to patients.
Overall, these two views provide a unique perspective to take into account when a provider is deciding on how to help their patient. Patients should be provided with accurate information, based on evidence of research, to make an informed decision about whether or not to use it.

Her mother, Paige, extensively researched health options that led her to a little-known plant compound called cannabidiol, or CBD. This was the doctor who took the risk. We are all grateful
In India we over weed to God shiva and this plant was banned due to us pressure but now finally someone says.. India should legalize the medical cannabis
Finding cures for things such as depression and possibly speech impediments

History has shown that opinions can be more valued then facts. This story is incredible in many ways.
I’ve always had really poor school performance always Fs and Ds from pre-k to 11th grade I wasn’t a bad kid or anything never got in trouble.

👏👏👏❤️✊
The sooner we give it one name i.e. "Cannabis" the better. Only fanatics could vilify a plant.
It is about the weed to though because it's a medicine

Oh dear 😢
It's so painful to see that child in such a condition 😢
Medical marijuana has been treating serious illnesses for years now. I think we can all agree that it has its own purpose in terms of medicinal use.
