Woah. I never knew weed was used for medicine. That's pretty interesting.

Really? You should get out of the house more. It's already being used to treat seizures and pain, bro.

I heard that they use Marijuana for medicine, but not with weed.
So how did they make the medicine?

Weed is a slang term for marijuana. They're the same thing.

DRUGS ARE BAD, MMMMMMKAY~

LOL, nah, haven't succeeded yet. I quote: "The experiments are in their infancy."

They just recently updated from prescribing cannabis to patients in chemotherapy, to extracting the properties found inside it and using it to fight off cancer cells. I didn't really catch how they would use it to repair the brain. But I did notice the irony in that people believe that it harms the brain, and here scientists are trying to use weed to repair it.

It can be used as a powerful painkiller, and has a variety of other less-tested medical properties that haven't been able to be researched properly while it's been illegal.

Are there people that research medicines illegally?

no, they have to go through a lengthy process to acquire permission to study and do trials with an illegal substance. that is to say it's nearly impossible to do proper studies on it.

it might be easier now that it's not illegal in parts of america though

There are people who make and sell drugs, including experimental ones, so in that case yes, there are.

But usually legitimate researchers have the government approval to find usage consequences and side effects, as well as break down the product's blueprint to find alternative uses.

My older brother keeps on saying how he wished that marijuana is legal, but I'm not so sure.
I mean, it's okay in some cases, but not entirely.
I'm just worried about my brother lately since he hasn't been acting the same lately.

marijuana takes quite a few days to leave the system entirely. if he's smoking frequently, it's likely that he's basically just stoned all the time, regardless of whether he realizes this or not. this can lead to being unmotivated, lethargic, sleepy, quiet, etc.

if you're noticing changes in his personality it might be a good idea for him to detox for a few weeks, but it's usually hard to convince them.
