Hemp Marijuana Facts

Hemp vs Prescription drugs

Prescriptions that are currently on the market are expensive and difficult to create, plus they are not always effective. If you look at the quantity of drugs that marijuana could potentially replace, you would be taking numerous drugs off of the market that have horribly negative side effects. Medicines made out of cannabis are simple to make, safe to ingest and inexpensive to make. There is a controversy saying that a drug called dronabinol should replace the potential benefit of marijuana use, but there is a problem. While it is nearly an exact replica of one portion of the cannabis extract that makes marijuana so effective, it is difficult to get from both doctors and pharmacies. Most stores refuse to fill out the pages of paperwork that the DEA requires. Another downfall of dronabinol is how ineffective it is when you are nauseous and throwing up. Dosages are hard to determine with this pill and this pill is not effective against all of the same diseases because not all of the same chemicals are shared between this and marijuana. Dronabinol does not contain the same calming effects that marijuana does, which makes it difficult for some patients to take.
