BENEFITS FOUND IN MARIJUANA

Chemicals in marijuana, called cannabinoids, may protect the brain from
damage caused by injuries and stroke, according to the U.S. National
Institute of Mental Health. In a study using rats, researchers found that
cannabinoids could block the effects of other chemicals that kill cells when
oxygen is cut off, which is what happens in a stroke caused by a blood clot.
There is also evidence cannabinoids protect nerve cells against damage.
They work independently of marijuana's better-known effects, which include
the euphoric feeling known as a "high".
