Hello everyone today I gonna write on how can Marijuana (cannabis) can be a medical tool, though many of you may be be thinking that how can an addictive drug be used as  a medicine to treat ailments but many civilizations from ancient times are using it as a medicine.

when used as  medicine it is referred as medical marijuana or medical cannabis and the the components which act as a medical tool are known as cannabinoids consisting of some compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), these constituents are used as in medical therapies to treat some ailments and diseases about which I would be giving a detailed description in detail but let me first make you aware about  its usage in modern times, no doubt it is a medical tool but because it is a addictive drug therefore its use is controversial and many of medical organisation like American Medical Association, MMA, The American Society of Addiction Medicine have gave an opposing views on the usage of marijuana for medical purposes. Moreover in some states of America its use in any form is completely banned, as it has side effects like memory loss, cognition problems, and risk of dependence if consumed for a long period.

Now the question arises How to administer Medical cannabis?
Medical cannabis is administered in vaporizers, smoking dried buds, as pills, chewing extracts or through oral sprayers.
Doctors also prescribe some synthetic cannibenoids like Dronabinol (used in U.S) and Nabilone (used in U.K).
Though FDA hasn’t approved smoking of marijuana as it is fatal.
