A member asked:
What are the health benefits of using natural cannabis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: This is a class I controlled substance that has no health benefits at all. Some medicinal value has been proposed, but for a healthy person risks of damage to genes, increased anxiety, loss of memory, and disturbed sense of well being, not counting the legal costs, are a good reason to avoid this.
