This is a topic of debate that takes more than 100 years of polemic, and that at present not only is a juridical matter not politically, but a matter of all. The Cannabis has in his against several points, does not enjoy good image, and that a big sector thinks that the efficacy of Maria is based only by anecdotes and information contributed by patients, but the reality is that the studies realized in the University of Washington on 33 clinical essays from 1971 until 2009, they affirm that the cannabiodes are extremely sure like analgesics, with a minimal toxinicidad.
