As the movement to legalize the use of marijuana, especially for medicinal purposes, gains traction, here is a useful chart that summarizes the potential health benefits of the various components of cannabis. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is opposed to the legalization of marijuana, but it is reasonably clear that he's fighting a losing battle, even among some members of the Republican party.
Americans are increasingly supporting the legalization of marijuana, and this position will ultimately prevail. I hope that more serious research is conducted into exploring the health benefits of this plant. Big Pharma will oppose that because it could be a threat to its multibillion-dollar business, but heath care should be for the benefit of the people, not big business.
