Some years back, Medical Researchers claimed that Marijuana may have therapeutic value in treating Glaucoma (an eye defect) and Asthma (a lung defect) and in easing the nausea that cancer patients experience during chemotheraphy.

Marijuana has over 400 chemical compounds and any of these compounds could prove useful.

Hero to who please?” she asked disdainfully. “ Why waste your saliva and brain on someone who has brought poverty, national blackout, danger, unemployment, terror and insecurity to our dear nation” she said. “Don’t get me wrong, he was my president before now. His wife is even from my mum’s village, Ogu Bolo in Okrika and I know her home. So, they are my people. But my dear, he disappointed me.
