Patient discussion about benefit.

Q. Is alcohol really healthy? I’m 19 years old girl, and never drink alcohol. I had an argument with my friend that argued that alcohol actually helps the heart and prevents some disease, and therefore I should drink at least some. However, I always hear about how alcohol ruins your liver and the whole body. Is he right?

A. The important thing is that alcohol helps disease that usually affect old men, so for young people (like you) eventually alcohol is more harmfull than healthy.

Q. what are the requirements of getting medicinal marijuana? i'd like to know the requirements of getting prescribed medicinal marijuana. i have heard alot about health benefits of moderate use of marijuana or should i refer to it as cannabis.

A. cannabinoid drugs have therapeutic value particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation. as an example- some cancer patients have loss of appetite and nausea because of chemo, this is a cause for medicinal marijuana. Since 1996, twelve states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, CA, CO, HI, ME, MT, NV, NM, OR, RI, VT, and WA.
