Ive heard that some people take it for ms

If pure it can certainly be in conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis......I have seen it work as medicine.

For some with cancer or ms yes , I heard it really helps them

It is an herb and does have medicinal properties, like dandelion, chickweed, peppermint, catnip, lemon balm, purslane, hops, nettle, red clover,..you get the idea...many,many herbs have different medicinal properties and uses...Marijuana is just one of them..

It has medical benefits for cancer patients, glaucoma patients, and those in chronic pain. I sure wish the medical properties were more widely recognized, so that medical marijuana would be more readily available and legal everywhere.

Yes, it has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. The DEA constantly states that cannabis is not a medicine and they use this as their excuse for bullying and raiding medical marijuana dispensaries and clinics. Professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Dr. Mechoulam(Mechoulam was the first to isolate THC in 1964):

"For at least 3,000 years, prior to 1842, widely varying marijuana extracts (buds, leaves, roots, etc.) were the most commonly used and widely accepted medicines in the world for the majority of mankind's illnesses. From 1842 through the 1890's, extremely strong marijuana (then known as cannabis extractums) and hashish extracts, tinctures and elixirs were routinely the second and third most-used medicines in American for humans (from birth through childhood, to old age) and in veterinary medicine until the 1920s and longer. The U.S. Pharmacopoeia indicated that cannabis should be used for treating such ailments as: fatigue, fits of coughing, rheumatism, asthma, delirium tremens, migraine headaches and the cramps and depression associated with menustration. In the 20th century, cannabis research has demonstrated therapeutic value and complete safety in treating man health problems including asthma, glaucoma, nausea, tumors, epilepsy, infection, stress, migraines, anorexia, depression, rheumatism, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease and herpes." --from "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer www.jackherer.com So the answer is YES, the leaves of the female cannabis plant has been and will be one of the best medicines on earth.

It does have plenty of good medicinal qualities, and has been used for thousands of years, both recreationally and medicinally. It is only in recent history that man has taken it upon himself to outlaw something that occurs naturally with no help from man.

Thank you God for your gift that you have given unto your people. Thank you.

No, but THC has a vast number of medicinal uses and the best way to get said THC....you guessed it.

It can be used medicinally, as can heroine and alcohol.

In California it is legal for: nausea chronic pain vomiting spasticity neuropathy fibromyalgia anorexia insomnia depression arthritis

1) "Medical Cannabis refers to the use of the drug cannabis as a physician-recommended herbal therapy, most notably as an antiemetic. There are many studies regarding the use of cannabis in a medicinal context. Cannabis was listed in the United States Pharmacopeia from 1850 until 1942. The United States federal government does not currently recognize any legitimate medical use, although there are currently seven patients receiving cannabis for their various illnesses through the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program that was closed to new patients in 1991 by the George H. W. Bush administration. Francis L. Young, an administrative law judge with the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, in 1988, declared that "in its natural form, [cannabis] is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known." However, smoked cannabis is today not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Twelve state laws currently allow for the medicinal use of cannabis but the United States Supreme Court has later ruled that the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize marijuana also in these states, even for medical purposes. The term medical marijuana post-dates the U.S. Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, the effect of which made cannabis prescriptions illegal in the United States. Due to widespread illegality of cannabis as a recreational drug its legal or licensed use in medicine is a controversial issue."
