61 Potential Benefits of Marijuana and Its Cannabinoids that Are Backed By Scientific Research

Today you’re going to learn the potential benefits of marijuana.

We analyzed over 150 scientific papers to see what the current scientific consensus is about the potential benefits of marijuana.

Some of these studies are human studies, while others are animal studies. Keep in mind that the results of animal studies can’t be directly extended to humans. Human clinical trials with cannabis are rare. Therefore we emphasize that these are potential benefits.

Most of the potential benefits of marijuana are synonymous with the health benefits that the cannabinoids inside marijuana plants (like THC and CBD) provide.

But marijuana legalization especially (compared to marijuana-use) has more potential benefits than health-related benefits, as you’ll learn today.

A discussion on the benefits of marijuana, however, wouldn’t be complete without highlighting the potential adverse health effects of marijuana as well.

Even though marijuana has many potential benefits, you’ll also learn that marijuana-use has serious potential adverse health effects, and you should be careful not to abuse it.

Health Benefits of Marijuana

1. Helps relieve nausea and vomiting in some chemotherapy patients

The most well-known cannabinoid in marijuana: THC, has shown to be extremely useful in relieving chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

A study done in 2001 (1) found that chemotherapy: “patients who smoked cannabis showed a 70 – 100% relief from nausea and vomiting, while those who used a Δ9-THC capsule experienced 76 – 88% relief.”

2. Stimulates appetite and weight gain in AIDS, cancer, and anorexia nervosa patients

Many studies throughout the years have shown marijuana use is directly correlated with increased appetite and weight. The exact mechanism is still unclear, but we do know there’s a high concentration of cannabinoid receptors in brain parts that are associated with the control of food intake.

A couple of example studies:

A 1994 study that looked at the effects of marijuana on mean daily energy intake found that the mean daily energy intake of participants who used marijuana was significantly higher than when they didn’t use cannabis (2).

An experimental laboratory study done in 1988 (3), found that smoked marijuana significantly increased total daily caloric intake by a whopping 40%!
