Cannabis sativa is the safest therapeutic drug known:

::: More is known about the therapeutic uses of Cannabis than about most prescribed drugs.
::: Cannabis has been tested by millions of people, for thousands of years. In all that time, there has not been a single record of death caused by Cannabis.

::: Marijuana is also the ultimate bronchodilator, opening up the airways, the bronchi, to allow more oxygen into the blood.
::: Medical research indicates that light marijuana smoking would be the best therapy of choice for alleviating the effects of emphysema, allowing more fresh air into the bronchi, which would increase the quality of life for tens of millions of emphysema victims.
::: Sixty percent of epileptics can benefit from using marijuana. It is considered the best medication for many epilepsy victims and for most trauma victims.
::: Research on the transfer of oxygen effects caused by marijuana smoking indicates that chest pains, shortness of breath, and headaches, which are caused by tobacco, are generally entirely relieved by marijuana smoking throughout the day.
