Medical cannabis helps heal chronic disease
NaturalNews) Back in 2700 BC, according to Chinese legend, the emperor Shen Nung -- also known as Chen Nung, considered the Father of Chinese medicine -- discovered the healing properties of marijuana as well as ginseng and ephedra.

Marijuana gets recognized by mainstream medicine
From the 1850s to 1942, cannabis was listed in the United States Pharmacopeia -- an official public standards-setting authority for all prescription and over-the counter medicines -- as a treatment for tetanus, cholera, rabies, dysentery, alcoholism, opiate addiction, convulsive disorders, insanity, excessive menstrual bleeding and many other health problems.
Unfortunately, during that same time period, prohibition gained in popularity -- along with a growing "faith" in federal government. By 1937, the United States passed its first federal law against cannabis -- despite objections by the American Medical Association (AMA). In fact, Dr. William C. Woodward, testifying on behalf of the AMA, told Congress:
"The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marijuana is a dangerous drug."
He then warned that a prohibition "loses sight of the fact that future investigation may show that there are substantial medical uses for Cannabis."
Today, we see a growing trend of acceptance of marijuana for its medicinal purposes. Even Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, reversed his 2009 opinion against marijuana -- when he said, "We have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that."
