Cannabis and its many applications have great effects on chronic inflammation.  Chronic inflammation is due to abnormal behaviour in the resistance system and might lead to tissue, joint and organ damage. Studies show cannabis is capable of reducing chronic inflammation for a wide variety of disorders.  This will help individuals manage the pain connected with their inflammation related condition. While inflammation is an important response by the body's resistance system to harm, bacteria, and viruses, at times the inflammatory reaction can occur unnecessarily.

## Damaging effects
The inflammatory response removes the damaging stimuli so the body can start the procedure for healing. However, in the event of autoimmune diseases, the resistance system reacts as if tissues are contaminated when in fact they're normal. Consequently, the body causes harm to its own tissues. Severe inflammation which comes and goes as needed to deal with injuries and disorders represents a well balanced and powerful resistance system. With chronic infection, however, the immunity system is basically out-of-wack as it won't shut off the inflammatory reaction.

## Diseases
Disorders that are linked with inflammation include rheumatoid arthritis, disability, psoriatic arthritis, stiffness and swelling, as well as red spots on the skin, Crohns along with other inflammatory bowel disorders, atherosclerosis, and some cancers. 

## Cannabis works better than the pharmacy
Treatment of inflammatory illnesses usually entails anti-inflammatory and pain medicines. In certain cases, surgery is needed. Medical cannabis was found to be capable of both reducing chronic infection and shortening of the pain associated with inflammatory ailments.  This is thanks to its two main cannabinoids, tetrahydrocannabinol, and cannabidiol.  Both THC and CBD have shown success at reducing inflammation connected to a wide range of conditions. Studies show that THC is actually able to reduce the improvement of atherosclerosis, which is a long-term inflammatory disease. CBD was found to have the ability to reduce joint inflammation and has shown capable of suppressing the illnesses development.

## Reconsider the laws
Marijuana has many other benefits that are able to help millions of people with their medical issues.  It is a shame that the pharmaceutical industry has a monopoly hold over our medical system.   Luckily we have a shot at more state in the US legalizing marijuana medically.   This was a drug that was used as medicine in its forgotten past.  The only reason it was made illegal was because of the economic failures of other industrial products that wouldn't have been able to compete.
