Medical Marijuana
The use of marijuana for medical reasons has been extremely controversial. Marijuana has been used to treat people for chronic painful conditions, such as the nausea brought on by cancer-related chemotherapy. Research has been done concerning the use of marijuana as treatment for the pain of glaucoma (eye disease) and the wasting syndrome associated with AIDS. A number of U.S. states, such as California and Vermont, have legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
