General Info on Cannabis

Marijuana can relieve the symptoms of neuropathic pain, arthritis, asthma, glaucoma, and nausea, it is an appetite stimulant for those suffering from HIV, the AIDS wasting syndrome, and dementia, current research is showing that it may help protect the body against cancer and treat a huge range of other illnesses, one doctor stated "Marijuana will be the wonder drug of the next century".

Drugs and their side effects do kill and can have a wide range of very negative side effects, even so called "safe" drugs like marijuana; some organisations believe that ignorance is one of the biggest killers and that simple prohibition does not work.

• As well as exploring the negative effects in my documentary, I also hope to show the apparent medicinal benefits of cannabis for terminally ill patients. The information above shown in green demonstrates that research suggests that the drug can have positive effects when used as a form of palliation for terminal care.
• This also is an exmaple of my intentions to challenge typical conventions of a documentary by presenting a two-sided, objective debate.
