Marijuana Abuse vs it's Medical usefulness

Modern studies have shown that Marijuana abuse is just 5%, compared to its Medical importance which is 95%. Developed countries reversed there law and made marijuana legal because of it's medical usefulness. I wish Nigeria Government can reverse the law and see its usefulness.
Marijuana is used to treat the following;
    Arthritis
    Glaucoma
    Hepatitis C
    Migraines
    Terminally Ill

Bob Marley Branded Strain

Good ol’ Bob is well known for two things: music and cannabis, both of which, he found, couldn’t exist without the other. On a not entirely different note, it seems that soon marijuana and money wouldn’t be able to exist without one another either. It is no secret marijuana is big business. Hell, we mentioned it like fifty times so far at least. But since we are society that thrives on capitalism, it is inevitable that marijuana would soon become a corrupt product as well. As soon as those evil corporations get their hands on branding marijuana and altering its production process, we will learn once again that we put our faith in the wrong hands.
Big Pharma
To give you a batter example of what happens when corporations try to take control of cannabis, all we have to do is mention that time when Big Pharma tried to patent cannabis.Luckily, it is impossible to patent a product of nature so the very fact they even tried truly shows how desperate they are. However, regardless of this money driven economy all we can really do is hope that the nature of corporations doing business is going to destroy the consumers of another billion-dollar industry.
Marley Natural
Enter Bob Marley. Or, to be more specific, enter Bob Marley’s heirs. They came up with a global marijuana brand that will be sold under the late singer’s name. What remains unclear though is how exactly will this be a global brand when marijuana isn’t legal all over the world but only in a handful of countries. Marley’s heirs have teamed up with Privateer Holdings to make this effort seem plausible at the very least. This effort would result in founding an entirely new company called “Marley Natural”.
Undoubtedly, people all over the world would probably flock to try the Bob Marley brand, albeit in the form of cannabis edibles, actual buds or t-shirts. It seems that Jamaica would be like to be among the first to benefit from this brand since the country just might be on its way to legalize medical marijuana. Yes, that is correct, marijuana is still illegal in Jamaica. Sure, it has been decriminalized but that doesn’t make it legal.
Bob Marley Strain
Marley Natural will have its headquarters in New York so it is easy to understand why the good people of Jamaica would resent that. Everybody is hoping that the Marley family will play a pivotal role in the regulation of a marijuana industry in Jamaica.
Bob Marley died of cancer in 1981 and has since become an icon not only in Jamaica but also all over the world. Branding a marijuana plant with his name seems like a natural business decision, especially considering his love for the plant. We wonder what specific strain will be involved in the branding. Or maybe they will make new strain in to honor the singer and cannabis connoisseur. While we’re looking forward to the strain, we hope it remains organic and true to Marley’s vision.

Studies has shown that marijuana doesn't damage the brain

We know what you’re thinking. Oh God, not another study on medical marijuana. And we realize that anything can be proven, one way or another. However, let us remind you that several years ago there was no such thing as medical marijuana research. The only way you could find a study focusing on marijuana was if you researched the hell out of the Internet and various online databases. For that, you practically had to be an expert in reading that damn thing as well. Luckily, today that is no longer the case. Every single day is a new opportunity for some groundbreaking marijuana research study.
One of the most important issues regarding marijuana was the effect that marijuana has on the brain, specifically of young people. The primary concern here is that a young brain is not fully developed when kids start consuming marijuana. Let’s not kid ourselves here. What was the first time you smoked a joint?A lot of kids come in contact with marijuana in as early as elementary school, but most try it in high school. While it may seem harmless, it can damage a kid’s brain if he smokes it all the time, throughout the entire day. There are plenty of testimonials out there on similar cases.
Brain Not Fully Developed
And the theory makes sense, if your brain is not fully developed and yet you keep stoning yourself with weed, then nothing good would probably come out of it. However, this new research study shows that marijuana use does not show any long lasting and damaging effects on the brain. The thing about this study is that it has a relatively small sample but the results are astounding nonetheless. Now, you’re probably wondering how come these results are drastically different from the previous study? Well, it seems that the previous study failed to filter out people who have been abusing alcohol, which has been responsible for brain deterioration in a number of research studies. Literally, not one study has shown that alcohol does not have significant impact in brain deterioration.
Don’t Go Crazy
This doesn’t mean you should all now go stock up on kilos of marijuana and never leave the house. What it does mean is that you can be less worried on damaging your brain. We have personally seen plenty of people who have supposedly gone off the deep end thanks to marijuana. However, it later turned out that they were doing a bunch of other drugs as well. That’s a pretty important piece of information. If you tend to sm
oke pot but are doing a lot of mdma, cocaine and heroine at the same time, don’t blame marijuana for it, for god’s sake, as if weed didn’t already have a bad reputation. Still, be reasonable, smoke every once in a while because daily smokers usually suffer from attention disorders, short-term memory loss, sometimes even bipolar behavior. Of course, none of these ailments are permanent but they may disrupt the quality of your life.
