Understanding Medicinal Marijuana

There is a lengthy history of cannabis and marijuana seeds used for medicinal use dating back thousands of years. Almost to the beginning of recorded history. It's only been in the last hundred years that cannabis and marijuana seeds have been prohibitive.

This has led to a monopoly on medications by pharmaceutical companies.

The latest chapter in history of medicinal marijuana history happened on Oct. 19 when the U.S. Justice Department announced that federal prosecutors would not pursue medical marijuana charges against people who comply with state laws.

Formalizing a policy at which the Obama Administration hinted earlier this year.

Currently, 13 states allow doctors to prescribe medical marijuana to patients suffering from ailments ranging from AIDS to glaucoma.

California was the first state to legalize medicinal marijuana after a ballot vote. Fascinatingly California was also the first state to criminalize cannabis use. Mostly to control the influx of Mexican labor.

But as early as 2737 B.C., the mystical emperor Shen Neng of China was prescribing marijuana tea for the treatment of gout, rheumatism, malaria and, oddly enough, poor memory. The drug's popularity as a medicine spread throughout Asia, the Middle East and down the eastern coast of Africa.

Ancient physicians prescribed marijuana for everything from pain relief to earaches to childbirth. Doctors also warned against overuse of marijuana, believing that too much consumption caused impotence, blindness and "seeing devils."

By the late 18th century, early editions of American medical journals recommend marijuana seeds and hemp roots for the treatment of inflamed skin, incontinence and venereal disease.

Irish doctor William O'Shaughnessy first popularized marijuana's medical use in England and America. As a physician with the British East India Company, he found marijuana eased the pain of rheumatism and was helpful against discomfort and nausea in cases of rabies, cholera and tetanus.

It wasn't until 1914 that marijuana use was defined as a crime, under the Harrison Act.

By 1937, twenty-three states had outlawed marijuana as a backlash against newly arrived Mexican immigrants, some of whom brought the drug with them.

Also in 1937, the federal government passed the Marihuana Tax Act, which made nonmedical use of marijuana illegal.

In the 1950s Congress passed the Boggs Act and the Narcotics Control Act, which laid down mandatory sentences for drug offenders, including marijuana possessors and distributors.California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana in 1996.

A dozen states have followed.

Before purchasing marijuana seeds check to see if your state has a med pot program. Often states allow someone to grow marijuana on a sick persons behalf and be paid for the opportunity.

Growing medicinal marijuana via a state run program will protect from the DEA. Of course you have to be operating your marijuana grow within the state law. There's even a university in Oakland, California that teaches medicinal marijuana.

Again check your options before purchasing marijuana seeds you may find that a medicinal marijuana program is operating in your state that you can participate in. This information is easily found online.
