Over the last few decades, some researchers have been devoted studying what cannabis has to offer in the human body. Aside from its noted addictive content (which is why most states still consider it as illegal), it soon resulted in a historic discovery that made the medical industry pay more attention to what Marijuana heals, and what can Marijuana do for medical society in the future.
More than two thirds of U.S. states legalized marijuana for medical treatments and more countries are considering to do the same. The FDA has only approved Medical marijuana for treatment of two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

If you’re getting marijuana for medical usage, you need to have a signed recommendation from a licensed doctor in a state where medical marijuana is legal. It’s an obvious reason why some doctors are not willing to hand over a recommendation to their patients so you need to provide all data that’s needed for you to qualify.
