Medical Marijuana has been fought throughout the years and the proposition of Obama helped the studies in America so that the study would not be sold to Canada so they can figure it out the effect of the drug. States are regulating drug dosage a person has so that people that use marijuana medically are protected from the fines and prosecution. The government is making a way for marijuana to contribute to the need of patients that have HIV/aids symptoms cancer and even glaucoma.

Her diagnose is Dravet syndrome, the mother of child went through health care studies to find a cure for the disease and the finally found help through a Colorado medical group called the Realm of Caring. Charlottes mom took her daughter through therapy with high concentration of marijuana for help with her daughter syndrome. Her daughter has significant cognitive and motor delays that affect her activities of daily living. She requires a feeding tube and she is in need of assistance through everything she does. The mother wanted to be clear and let people know that someone else had used THC for their child and it was successful. "The mother took the necessary steps to get information to get information on her child treatment" (Epilepsia 55). The 5year old was put on a low dosage of the THC content so that there will be no significant psychological effects. She had to get approval to even get on a high dosage of marijuana. Her mother wanted her to have less seizures and the cannabis helped her to have 7 fewer seizures per month and she is able to eat regular instead of eating out a tube. The drug gave her a daughter a great effect so that she can continue on with her daily living, the thing she was not able to do now she is able and her mother helped with this process.

Inflammatory defense against AIDS patients can be life threating against those that don't have the infection (Tashkin 2005). The regular use of marijuana can be good to people that have HIV, smoking cannabis contains carbon monoxide and acetaldehyde and increases lung defenses.

Sever Pain is the most common reason why people use THC. Arthritis and Musculoskeletal pain are most commonly used with marijuana but it still has not been recommended by a rheumatologist to treat patients with cannabis. Patients want to use natural products instead of using something that may cause them to have bad side effects and health issues in the future. Herbal cannabis is natural for someone to use because it is grown. The method of growing cannabis is simple but the FDA is still doing it' research so that t can be medically approved. Instead of using psychoactive drugs to stimulate the feeling of mood and appetite researcher believe that marijuana can do all the things that is needed in one dosage. Psychoactive drugs are methods that produce intolerable reaction some may react well to you and some people are having problems with adjusting to the medications that is why herbal cannabis is a better drug because it cannot effect you with different types of symptoms that are bad to you.

"The long term risks of herbal cannabis are unknown but the psychological health and association with mental illness development and dependency of drug" (Kalant 28). THC can be drug dependent because it is an irregular high to society many people use the drug and become chemical dependent and do not know how to wing themselves off when it time not to use the drug anymore. Marijuana is an illegal drug even those some states approved it medically but there are still consequences for using the dug without a medical prescription. Some states only allow terminally ill patients to legally use medical marijuana. In Arizona Proposition 203 was passed in 2010 allowed use of marijuana with written certification.
