Rep Power: 36712 | Ninety percent of glaucoma victims can benefit from the use of Marijuana. 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. Medical research indicates that light Marijuana smoking would be the therapy of choice for mild emphysema to allow more fresh areas of bronchi to open up for more transfer and increase the quality of life for tens of millions of sufferers of emphysema.

Rep Power: 0 | Great info! I use medical marijuana to treat severe obstructive sleep apnea, severe post traumatic disorder, and various painful injuries. I initially used it for obstructive sleep apnea and it caused respiratory distress events to plummet down to near perfect sleep -- this is monitored by a computer on a nightly basis. Then, I noticed my range of motion improved dramatically because my pain literally disappeared (I always thought taking weed for pain was a joke, but it is not). Next, because my hormones got into balance due to dramatically improved sleep, I lost 52 lbs. of fat! After that, the nasal sprays I needed to clear my right nasal cavity stopped working... I decided to blow smoke through that nostril to see if I could clear it out...done. Poof. ha. Everybody knows it works great for stress. Finally, post traumatic stress disorder symptoms are easy to treat now as the meds I use to treat the sleep disorders and pain also simultaneously treat the PTSD symptoms -- no need for extra meds like with pharmaceuticals. ...marijuana is a powerful medicine! I'm a poster child for mmj. I love telling people my story! Who'dah thunk being ill could be so much fun! |
