4 Reasons Why Cannabis Should be Tax-Free

• My BPG ensures that marijuana is available
  tax-free for Marijuana Treatment Programs.

• With the world moving towards legalized cannabis
  for recreational purposes, the society is
  becoming more accepting for cannabis. Canada and
  Uruguay have formed acts to allow their citizens
  to use recreational marijuana. The emerging
  evidence for health benefits related to cannabis
  call for governments for making availability of
  tax-free cannabis.
• There are two categories of patients eligible for
  marijuana for medical reasons. In some regions of
  the world, it is legal for physicians to
  prescribe cannabis to certain patients. The
  eligible ones are provided a card, a license, to
  purchase marijuana on medical grounds. There are
  various Berkeley Patients Group treatment
  programs, however, due to the absence of avenues
  for availability of cannabis, even approved
  patients face difficulties. This article entails
  benefits of cannabis for health, and challenges
  patients face for accessing marijuana.

Medical Benefits of Cannabis

• A few scientific studies prove the medical
  benefits of cannabis for specific uses. Marijuana
  has also made positive impact on the health of
  some individuals. Some of these benefits are

Chronic Pain

• Patients suffering from chronic pain, or having
  arthritis, can rely on marijuana treatment
  programs as it many patients found marijuana to
  be vastly relieving when combined with their pain
  management regimen. This way of assuaging pain
  using cannabis dates back 5000 years when
  cannabis was used in traditional Eastern
  medicine. However, it was adopted as pain relief
  in Western medicine in the mid-1800s, and has
  been part of many treatment programs for various
  diseases.

Parkinsons Disease

• Although, there are no studies available to
  prove that cannabis is effective for treating
  Parkinsons disease. However, many Parkinsons
  patients have claimed cannabis effectively helps
  relieving pain and tremors, resulting from this
  disease. This anecdotal evidence establishes that
  Parkinsons patients can use marijuana treatment
  program for medical reasons.

Chemotherapy Side-effects

• Chemotherapy leads to few side-effects such as
  nausea, weight loss and loss of appetite. For
  some people, cannabis and drugs containing
  cannabinoids help patients cope with the
  side-effects of chemotherapy and helps them
  relax. Medicines containing synthetic
  cannabinoids, esp pill Nabilone, helps patients
  control nausea associated with chemotherapy and
  is often prescribed by doctors for treating
  side-effects of chemotherapy. For other side
  effects such as loss of appetite and weight loss,
  some patients have reported that cannabis helps
  in increasing their appetite. Although there is
  no formal scientific research to support the
  effectiveness of cannabis for cancer patients,
  yet anecdotal feedback from chemotherapy patients
  is a valid reason.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

• Post-Trauma Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental
  health condition triggered by experiencing or
  witnessing a terrifying event. First responders,
  who witness disturbing events such as accidents
  and other tragedies, are highly susceptible to
  suffer from PTSD. Treating PTSD effectively is a
  challenge, and this treatment mainly relies on
  using traditional antidepressants and relaxants
  along-with additional group therapy. In various
  studies and research papers, the relationship
  between PTSD and cannabis was discussed at
  length. In those papers, it has been established
  that physicians specializing in the treatment of
  PTSD have found cannabis greatly helpful for
  certain patients. Although, cannabis cannot
  completely eradicate the symptoms of PTSD,
  however, it can provide a significant
  stabilizing therapy to allow other therapies to
  then take place, and allow a much better quality
  of life for the patient, says Paul Smith, an NB
  physician.

Conclusion

• With all the discussion above, it can be safely
  concluded that cannabis is a helpful drug for
  treating various diseases. As it helps cure many
  diseases directly as well as indirectly, the
  availability of there must be tax-free cannabis
  supply. With approved marijuana suppliers,
  approved patients, having a medical exemption,
  can access tax-free cannabis. Once government
  takes the responsibility of establishing cannabis
  supply, the limited patients having difficulty
  receiving cannabis, will have sufficient supply
  for health purpose. By lifting ban on the
  cultivation of marijuana plants, valid patients
  can grow a limited number of plants for their
  personal use.
