    Medical marijuana is beneficial for so many medical conditions. Anthony Franciosi, founder of Ant's Organic all-natural cannabis, provided a quick overview of how medical marijuana benefits people suffering from cancer and/or epilepsy:
     
    How does medical marijuana help cancer patients?
     
    Some of the possible negative side effects of chemotherapy are great discomfort, nausea, and the inability to eat. Marijuana has been proven to help with these patients' appetite and has been used to replace chemotherapy drugs. THC also has been proven to shrink tumors in brain cancer patients.
     
    How does medical cannabis help people suffering from epilepsy?
     
    Marijuana has anticonvulsant effects, which have been used to treat epilepsy dating back to ancient Africa, Greece, and Rome. CBD high strains are proven to help with seizures, especially in children.  Many of these strains have now been bred specifically for high CBD characteristics. CBD is also non-psychoactive, so it does not have mind-altering characteristics. 
     
    Can medical marijuana benefit many medical conditions better than the drugs they are currently offering?
     
    There are many cases throughout the medical field where marijuana proves to be a helpful addition to healthcare plans that people already have in place. Marijuana is not a cure-all to replace all other medicines, but for many people with cancer and other life threatening illnesses, THC and other cannabinoids have helped with their reliance on narcotics and chemotherapy drugs. This greatly improves their quality of life.
