Hi All, I just want to ask if someone ever tried using medical cannabis as an alternative medicine? They said that medical cannabis is very effective when it comes to any illnesses. I’ve been reading some article about medical marijuana and how it can help you in terms of pain management, anxiety disorders and panic attacks, inflammation, even cancer and a lot more. Like this review on a certain strain on http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/making-marijuana-bho-safely/, it has a very high pain suppressing effect. Cbd and thc are also new to me and I don’t even smoke. Alternatively, they’ve also find new ways to infuse cannabis on food and beverages. If this is true I cant find any solid conclusive evidence that speaks to its efficacy. Any personal experience or testimonial would be highly appreciated. Thanks
