These are Glaucoma and Multiple sclerosis. Marijuana can control the eye pressure and keep glaucoma from causing blindness and help stop spasms resulting multiple sclerosis and may even keep it from getting worse.

The Supreme Court accepted the California decision where voters in 1996 adopted marijuana for medical needs.

The symptoms are not permanent, and motivation returns to normal after the smoking stops for several months.

Marijuana contains THC, a bronchial dilator, which opens up the airways in your lungs and cleans out dirt and dust. Nicotine does just the opposite; it makes your lungs constrict and makes it harder to cough. Marijuana makes you relax, which improves your health and well-being. No case of lung cancer resulting form marijuana use alone has ever been documented. On the other hand, tobacco causes malignant lung cancer.
