If you have family or friends who have a child who suffers from the catastrophic disease, Dravet syndrome with life threatening seizures - watch this program entitled "Weed 2 ~ Cannabis Madness" researched and narrated by Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Research needs to be kicked up a notch in view of the overwhelming evidence of the potential medical benefits of marijuana as well as to make sure safety and uniformity of any resulting products. Not doing any scientific research on the medical benefits of marijuana in itself should be a very grave concern.

- It can take as little as 20 seconds for therapeutic marijuana to offer symptom relief
- Allows MS or arthritis pain patients to sleep
- In the USA scientific research on medical marijuana is blocked by the government as the Health department holds the patent on cannabinoids - US Patent 6630507

- Note that information in these documentaries is mostly for the United States of America
