Staff Members Of Marijuana Dispensaries In Phoenix

By Ashley Rogers


Medical marijuana is the term used when the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its derivatives are used for the purpose of treating symptoms or diseases. This substance has not received recognition or approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a form of medicine. However, it continues to be used in many parts of the world for the treatment of disease and relief of symptoms of disease. Marijuana dispensaries in Phoenix are located in many places.

Research into the determination of medical benefits of marijuana is still ongoing. Research is focused on the study of the chemical composition of the plant, specifically cannabinoids. The research has resulted in FDA approving two different medications that have cannabinoids chemicals as part of their composition. It is hoped that more research will result in more medications that base on the plant.

There is an ongoing debate for legalization of cannabis because of the perceived medical benefits it has. The debate is happen all over the world but it is hottest in the United States. Many states within the US and the world have made it legal to use cannabis for medical purposes only. Different states have different laws regarding this issue.

The FDA continues to disapprove the use of marijuana for medical purposes because there is no sufficient research in this field. For the FDA to approve a substance as a medicine, careful studies must have been conducted on several hundreds of thousands of human subjects. The studies verify the risks and benefits of the substance on people. To that point, the research community has not been able to conduct these studies yet, which makes the FDA to continue denying any pleas for approving the substance.

Cannabinoids are chemicals contained in the cannabis plant. They are closely related to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main chemical component in cannabis. THC is known for being able to alter the mind and behavior. Besides THC, there are several other cannabinoids in the herb. Abuse of most of these cannabinoids presents severe side effects.

Laboratory production of cannabinoids have been going on for a long time. Illegal manufacturers make them for sale to people on the streets while scientists make them legally for use in research and treatment. Synthesis of cannabinoids also occur naturally in the human body. These cannabinoids help with various body functions like regulating body movement, pleasure, memory, awareness of time, concentration, and thinking. Others use are in regulating appetite, senses, and pain.

The medical fraternity is mainly interested in cannabis because of two key chemicals found in it, that is, CBD and THC. THC has several medical uses. The uses include reduction of nausea, boosting of appetite, reduction of muscle control problems, pain, and inflammation.

On the other hand, CBD has no effect on behavior or the mind. It is useful in reducing inflammation and epileptic seizures. It is also known to be able to treat or reduce severity of mental illness. Research in this field is still in progress.
