Kay Lee's Cannabis Research
"In fact, there haven't been any clinical studies investigating cannabis for a therapeutic purpose approved in the USA for some 15 years, But that's not because researchers aren't interested." ~Neurologist Ethan Russo of the Montana Neurobehavioral Specialists group in Missoula.
Recently an AIDS study was finally approved to Dr. Abrams in the United States. But more than 10,000 studies have been done around the world which prove the efficacy of Cannabis (aka Marijuana) when used in various aspects of medical care.
I have compiled a little info on a few of the available diseases for which Cannabis has been proven to be helpful. If you keep an open mind, your own research will give you access to much more information. Kay Lee

THE SKELETON IN MY CLOSET
I hate to say it, but the drugs that have been named as enemies of society are arbitrary choices of ignorant, greedy and/or downright mean-spirited men. Natural substances have a tendency to be useful in medicine - that's why pharmaceutical companies take it to their labs, imitate it with chemicals, then lobby their representatives to make the natural plant illegal. One plant that should have never been put on the DEA's list of scheduled 'drugs' is the very helpful non-toxic plant, Cannabis - aka Marijuana. I was recently arrested for my own use of this plant and have reserved this section to cover my experience with the criminal justice system as effected in Eau Claire Wisconsin.
