How is marijuana used medically?

Answer:

Medical Marijuana

It is prescribed by those knowledgeable enough to understand the benefits of this more-natural remedy. It could be prescribed for physical pain, or it could be prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of a neurological condition.

It is legal in some states and not in others, so it can't be prescribed everywhere. It has uses in ophthalmology and pain relief. It is less addictive than most of the drugs it would replace, but it still remains illegal in most of the US.
