This particular journal entry is actually a historic review on the benefits of utilizing cannabis for the medicinal use of relieving migraines. In an attempt to find a journal that might actually have a case study or something on the affects of marijuana on a human, I forgot that there probably would not be many studies done due to the hazardous impact that comes with inhaling marijuana smoke.

So, in my opinion, this study was very effective in stating points that may lead to some clinical studies of the drug. How long will it take the government to pass an amendment that will allow every migraine suffer to be able to receive the best medica
