You must have a comprehension of a dodo bird... simple logical association from the multitudes of the resources i have posted should have prompted anyone following the main line of my argument into anything but the childish *****ic statements you have conjured around yourself. theres no point in your senseless posts. have you even bothered to respond to any of my questions? or, are you just waiting for those to be buried hoping never to indulge in addressing them and risk exposing your... limited mental faculties.

just answer the question directly.

"The government’s rationale for not legalizing marijuana, however, may no longer stand with the release of a study that confirmed the plant’s potential to reduce aggressive types of brain tumors when combined with radiation treatment. In April, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)issued a revised report acknowledging the St. George University of London study and findings summarized in a research report last November. “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not recognized or approved the marijuana plant as medicine,” the statement read. “However, scientific study of the chemicals in marijuana, called cannabinoids, has led to two FDA-approved medications that contain cannabinoid chemicals in pill form. Continued research may lead to more medications.”
For now, conducting further study will be easier said than done. Federal barriers to research mean that scientists often have to jump through hoops to secure samples legally through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and NIDA, a process that delays research by months, and oftentimes years.
That’s why there’s been some pressure to reclassify marijuana. Earlier this year, the American Academy of Pediatrics urged the federal government to downgrade marijuana to a Schedule II drug, which would allow for more research into its potential uses to treat sick children suffering from seizures. “A Schedule I listing means there’s no medical use or helpful indications, but we know that’s not true,” Seth Ammerman, a clinical professor in pediatrics at Stanford University who co-authored the group’s policy statement on the subject, said at the time."

In a paper published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers for the first time comprehensively describe existing abnormalities in brain function and structure of long-term marijuana users with multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Findings show chronic marijuana users have smaller brain volume in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a part of the brain commonly associated with addiction, but also increased brain connectivity.

There are instances why marijuana in the Philippines are illegal compare sine US States.

Goes back to about 2,500-10,000 years ago in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. Modern research has confirmed the beneficial uses of cannabis in treating and alleviating the pain, nausea and other symptoms associated with a variety of debilitating medical conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, and HIV-AIDS as found by the National Institute of Medicine of the US in March, 1999.

Cannabis has many currently accepted medical uses in the US, having been recommended by thousands of licensed physicians and more than 500,000 patients in 21 states with medical marijuana laws. Like the twenty states and the District of Columbia in the United States. Israel, Canada, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic have enacted medical cannabis laws that remove criminal sanctions for the medical use of cannabis, define eligibility for such use, and allow some means of access, in most cases, through a dispensary. Other states in the European Union, such as Finland, Portugal, Spain and Luxembourg, in recognition of the medical value of cannabis, have developed various forms of de facto decriminalization, whereby possession and use of cannabis, rarely lead to criminal prosecution.

In the Philippines, the “Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002” recognized the medical use of drugs classified as dangerous drugs including marijuana when it said in Section 2: “The government shall, however aim to achieve a balance in the national drug control program so that people with legitimate medical needs are not prevented from being treated with adequate amounts of appropriate medications, which include the use of dangerous drugs.” It went further in Section 16 when it provided that “ …in the case of medical laboratories and medical research centers which cultivate or culture marijuana, opium poppy and other plants, or materials of such dangerous drugs for medical experiments and research purposes or the creation of new types of medicine, the Board shall prescribe the necessary implementing guidelines for the proper cultivation, culture, handling, experimentation and disposal of such plants and materials.”

The Sing Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961 as amended by the 1972 Protocol provides in its Preamble: “Recognizing that the medical use of narcotic drugs continues to be indispensable for the relief of pain and suffering and that adequate provisions must be made to ensure the availability of narcotic drugs for such purposes.” It further provides in Article 4 that “subject to the provisions of this Convention, to limit exclusively to medical and scientific purpose the production, manufacture, export, import, distribution, trade in, use and possession of drugs.”

Section 11 of the Philippine Constitution states that it is “the policy of the state to adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health development which shall endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services available to all the people at affordable cost.” In line with this, it is the purpose and intent of this Act to provide accessible, affordable, safe medical cannabis to qualifying patients with debilitating medical condition as certified by medical doctors and approved by the Medical Cannabis Regulatory Authority. This bill also provides for the control measures and regulation on the medical use of Cannabis to ensure patient’s safety and for effective and efficient implementation of this Act.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

In the Philippines, as the law stands today, marijuana is illegal. It is a dangerous drug and the selling/use of marijuana is a criminal offense. Soon it would be completely legal to use marijuana in the Philippines. That is, if Congress passes a proposed bill and President Benigno Aquino signs it into law. Pending at the House of Representatives is House Bill No. 4477 (full text below), proposing a law to be known as the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act, regulating the medical use of cannabis and establishing for the purpose the Medical Cannabis Regulatory Authority. According to the principal author of the bill, Rep. Rodolfo T. Albano III, cannabis has “many currently accepted medical uses” and foreign states “have enacted medical cannabis laws that remove criminal sanctions for the medical use of cannabis.” There surely are pros and cons of decriminalizing the medical use of marijuana. One of the arguments against regulating marijuana is precisely that — regulation. The problem with “regulating” marijuana is the same problem with regulating the issuance of driver’s license. It’s an open secret that even those who do not know how to drive can get a driver’s license. So, as far as the regulation aspect is concerned, are we comfortable with the “open secret” that marijuana can be legally issued to practically anyone?

naay medical value na makabuang sad. so kung papilion ka? asa man ka? sa maka-ayo or sa makabuang?

bai slabs, nindot diay kay arang ka connected na ang brain if mo gamit ka ani..

but, seriousness ta hehehe...

- Smoking marijuana may cause early puberty and stunts growth in boys (mao sad ni cguro dli maau, dli mo taas ) source

- Active Component Of Marijuana Has Anti-cancer Effects, Study Suggests ( maau cguro ni padayunon) source

- Medical marijuana liquid extract may bring hope for children with severe epilepsy (nice ) source

- Possible use of medical marijuana for depression, source

- Medical marijuana for children with developmental and behavioral disorders, source

"Legalizing marijuana and the new science of weed"
- More than a year into Colorado’s experiment legalizing marijuana, labs testing the plants are able for the first time to take stock of the drug’s potency and contaminants – and openly paint a picture of what’s in today’s weed. Now, one such lab will present trends — and some surprises — that its preliminary testing has revealed about the marijuana now on the market. Scientists are studying potency, amounts of a substance called CBD and contaminants in the products.

syurbol jud makapordoy ni, mao bitaw mangawat nalang ang uban ug kung modayon ko ani, mao pang munas ginhawa ni akong hieght tiwasan pajud paita. ug maka gamay pa gyud sa utok

other source you posted wa koy supak. ang pangutana, in what way? pasuyopon nimo ang mga bata ug marijuana? unsay labas ana? according to study sad 5 times ang iyang effect of addiction kay sa sigarilyo

Media Leaping to Extremely Faulty Conclusions from Study on the Effects of Marijuana on the Brain | Alternet

- shrinks ofc but increases brain connectivity... what the study showed is inconclusive and warrants more research. yes, there are physiologic changes in parts of the brain, but how does that translate to the behavioral and performance of the users? legalize it, and we can have more research about the plant. i want you to defend your insistence that makabuang na. 9% dependence hardly qualifies makabuang. AND, tanan cannabis marijuana? tubaga.

hahah mo gamay pero connected man kau daw, kaysa dako pero katag nag connected sa wiring sa utok slabs hehehe.. intelligence baya dli base ang ka dakoon sa utok.

anyway, dli lage suyopon cguro pareha sa kanang imong nakita sa salida or sa eskina hehehe.. think and consider nga gi process na ang cannabis/hemp/marijuana for medical purpose.

If for pleasure or leisure purpose aww e smoke jd na bai.. kani ang controversial na part kay naay daghan supak naa pod daghan ingon na ok ra. so we will just leave it out there nalang.

kung mogamay atong utok parehas nalang na kadako sa unggoy adto nasad tas lain definition sa human anatomy ana mag daog why ang unggoy almost related sa human

wala lagi koy supak ana basta regulated lang. kanang sakto nga dosage lang ang mapunta sa matag patiente, dili kay bisag walay sakit na hala tira Lol
