Research into the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis continued to bolster the case for the medicinal use of marijuana, making the pot laws that have passed in 11 states seem less like a social movement than a legitimate medical trend. One trial..the first controlled study of its kind...showed that thc lessened the pain of arthritus and actually also suppressed the disease. An earlier study published by the journal of neuroscience showed that the cannabinoids, the chemicals in marijuana, can reduce inflammaton in the brain and may protect the brain from cognitive decline like alzheimers disease. Also, many other uses are being studied and the plant is being haled as a medical wonder. This comes from time magazine...interesting news.
