The National Institute of Health has come up with a list of conditions that marijuana appears to be of most benefit.
1. Stimulate appetite and relieve cachexia (the physical wasting away of AIDS and cancer sufferers).
2. Control nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy.
3. Decrease intraocular pressure inside the eyeball for relief of glaucoma.
4. Analgesia for chronic pain due to a variety of conditions.
5. Neurologic and movement disorders, such as muscle spasticity and seizures.
