Cannabis definitely is medicine. There should be no debate on this.
Google boulder ted talks cannabis for one single example.
The cannabinoid CBD has amazing healing properties. CBD blocks the uptake of THC in the liver so it prevents you from this feeling called "high".
I have personally witnessed cannabis improving the health of several different types of people with different problems. If smoking is a problem for you then you can juice it. Thats right, run the leaves or buds through a juicer to get the CBD effect. Old people are doing this as they don't want the effect of "high". Or eat it, rub it on your skin, vape it, or even suppository.
Cannabis oil, or Hemp oil, AKA Rick Simpson Oil or RSO is
Anti-Inflammatory
Anti-Bacterial
Anti-Fungal
Anti-Viral
plus more
Now on the Cancer subject, first off the term cancer is very ambiguous. There are many many different types of cancer. Cancer is basically mutant cells.
It is proven (and the US gov has known this since the 70's atleast) that Cannabis oil that contains among other things CBD, reduces and destroys tumors.

the authenticity and validity of that article and website is highly questionable.
There are thousands of studies that point towards the health benefits of cannabis. It makes sense that a healthier brain and body would allow for expanded awareness, since the mind can then function better.

The only thing that painted the full picture better, was the use of psychedelics that allowed me to access the Akashic records, a collective consciousness of all knowledge and wisdom.
Really so you think you have surfed the astral plane, and what did you bring back besides bullshit?
I surf it all the time and do it with nothing but Ommm and meditation, drugs destroy your mind.
That's why I bought back 30 Mod prime algorithm, HelixQ (90 bit/byte OS for AI) and PDF what NASA uses to find new planets.
So astral surfer who is full of bs, what have you bought back from your drug induced trips?
NOTHING
You're destroying your brain
DRUGS ARE FOR LOSERS
You should try bringing back more wisdom and less knowledge.
Knowledge means little if you do not have the wisdom to respect others. You'd think someone that has found a level of oneness with universal consciousness would not be so full of judgment.

Thank you hedgy and all who provided input.
I don't believe cannabis makes you smarter. I do believe it is a mind expanding tool that can be used for you to increase your awareness.
Intentions are a large part of that.

Are they claiming weed gives you enhanced brain function like happens in the movie Limitless? Pretty sure weed wont make you smarter no matter what strain you smoke or how much. I'm sure it alters your perception and could highten certain artistic sensibilities or make you concentrate more on some specific tests but not much.
i dont think the claims are true, sorry to burst the bubble.
If this was true, then the article will be super viral.. and cnn would be covering the story.

It's not true, but I don't think CNN is the barometer of true stories
. They're mainstream media and don't cover plenty of other things that are true but are not public knowledge.

There is to much conflicting information.
There was just a report like 2 weeks ago that said it made you dumber.

Depends what their agenda is. People who are pro-pot will spin it one way and people who are anti-will try it the other. There's a lot of misinformation from both sides and fear-mongering from the anti-camp. Cannabis isn't a magic medicine for everything, but it has it's uses. I don't think it cures cancer as some claim, but it definitely helps with the pain and sickness of chemo.
I'm pro-Cannabis even though I don't use it. From a past life, I can say without a doubt that it definitely didn't increase my IQ, and learning was more of a struggle. I do believe in it's medicinal properties, and as you've stated it's great for fighting pain and the sickness of chemo.
It obviously not going to increase your iq - I don't think any drugs can do that, but it may make you think more "existentially" or maybe make you think you're enlightened (which may or not be the case - see Vod lol), but I don't think it decreases your IQ either. Of course it can make you into a bit of a typical stoner but I also know lots of people who are the complete opposite to that. I guess it effects people differently. Carl Sagan was a notorious stoner and there are many celebs who seem to do pretty fine on it so it can't be all bad, but of course there are also the types that just sit on the couch and get baked and waist their life etc.

From my experience, cannabis allows you to use a fuller spectrum of your mind than simply the logical left half of your brain that we are conditioned to use through adolescence. It opened my mind to a new perspective that brought way for a higher understanding and integration of new information.
In school, I performed better when exercising the right half, creative side, of my brain in classes such as english. I found a much higher understanding of my own studies outside of school.

Cannabis also makes you hallucinate making you believe that you're smarter.

I smoked pot sociably in my late teens and early twenties with friends. I enjoyed it at first when it made us laugh but found towards the end it just made me paranoid and lazy even for the next few days after. Stopping smoking it was one of the best things I ever did. My personality changed back to the active, sociable, outgoing person I was and am now, not the shy, nervous, paranoid, lazy wreck I had become.
Fair play to anyone that can operate as normal with pot in their system, I know I couldn't. Some of my friends still smoke it on a regular even daily basis 20 years on and have families, jobs etc. it hasn't affected them the way it did me but everyone's different I suppose.

I agree that cannabis is best used medicinally, in moderation. Smoke when it benefits your well being, not when its that time to smoke. Anxiety can become present depending on different variables such as if youre smoking sativa vs indica, or if the weed is organic or not. I used it for anxiety and it helped but weed is not something to use indefinitely for your issues, its something to be used at moments its needed. After extensive use, it can bring back your anxiety.
I personally enjoy being sober these days with an occasional smoke, but I cannot say I regret ever smoking cannabis. I probably would have killed myself (or tried) as a teen if Mary Jane didnt give me guidance and a fresh perspective on life.
The best thing about not smoking is the vividness of dreams. But I cannot deny cannabis helped my mental and physical health tremendously.
I find that weed grounds you to an extent. Smoke when she brings you up, not when youre already flying.
Moderation is key.
I think you've hit the nail on the head when you say medicinally and moderation. I don't think there's any doubt that medicinally it can have huge benefits to the person or patient and if anything makes someone that's ill or in a difficult place feel better then that's great.
If it helped you through a difficult stage of your life and you say you probably would have killed yourself without it then there's not a lot more to say about its benefit to people that need it, you are a prime example. I'm glad it helped you an and its very brave for you to say that somewhere like this.
Me and my friends never did anything in moderation so it was usually mixed with copious amounts of alcohol and other 'party' substances which also had a bearing on its effects especially the following day. I don't regret smoking pot, we had some real laughs and ridiculously serious, in-depth conversations for hours about the most stupid things.
Looking back they were good times and I wouldn't change them at all. In fact if I could press a button and go back for a weekend I'd do it without a second thought
(probably most weekends actually).

I'm sure there's probably lots more studies that actually say the opposite too. Not sure I can take anything coming from a site called spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com seriously though as well .
.Well sure. Of course there's that lovely study that concluded marijuana kills brain cells. You know, the study where they strapped gas masks to monkeys and suffocated them with smoke for 15 minutes until they died, then counted the brain cell loss.
Cause you know, every stoner and their grandma takes 15 minute bong rips these days.
Yeah i'm not thinking that the article is true in that pot will raise IQ.
