Marijuana is widely known as an illegal drug that the term becomes a negative word for most people. However a new research about marijuana may change people's thinking about it. A group of researchers recently discovered that a chemical in marijuana called cannabis may be the ultimate cure for people with acne and even other skin problems. Experts think that cannabis can cure even skin cancer.

This may come as a surprise for most people and is probably the last thing in the mind of an acne sufferer. Nonetheless, people with acne are reminded that to experience the healing effects of cannabis, smoking marijuana or applying a cream made of cannabis on skin is not the solution.

There is no proof yet that smoking the illegal drug or applying cannabis on skin would improve skin condition. Do not do the things mentioned above without seeking the advice and opinion of a licensed physician.

Scientists are looking into the possibility of recreating or combining the elements of marijuana to recreate the good effects of the chemical found in the cannabis that is good for skin.

Aside from its great benefits on skin, cannabis is also believed to be a drug that induces weight gain, prevent hair fall, and boosts sex drive. However be informed that the above beliefs are still unproven up to this day.

As of now, doctors recommend cannabis as an effective herbal therapy for headache and migraines. It is also mildly used to cure alcoholism and drug addiction.
