Hiv Research Paper
Research paper Every day of our lives we have our minds filled by the media, but is it always truth that we are being filled with? We have diseases (HIV/AIDS), our planets fossil fuel consumption issue , and especially drugs, in this case we have marijuana and how it causes behind the wheel, work related deaths and mostly you hear about how it negatively affects your lungs. But have you ever disregarded the media and done some research of your own? Turns out this so called drug marijuana might not actually be as negative as people think but could very well have the potential to pull this country out of its recession. I was digging into a little research and discovered some statements/facts that just might make you think twice about not utilizing this plants potential. Example, this plant can be used for medicinal purposes. When this plant is smoked it affects your body in a way called “ the munchies,” were it enables the patient to eat larger amounts of food helping the patient gain weight which they were losing due to the diseases (HIV/AIDS) the patient might be fighting. Now most hospitals will not tell you this unless you are in one of those few states that actually wised up and legalized it. Another interesting fact is that when smoked provides same affects as certain prescription drugs but less possible harm to your body. Now this is when it really gets interesting. Did you know before hemp was made illegal, it had a vast array of benefits to those million dollar commercial industries. All school books were made from hemp or flax paper until 1880's( Hemp paper reconsidered , Jack Fraiser, 1974). It was legal to pay taxes with hemp in America from 1631 until early 1800's (LA times, Aug 12 1981). Refusing to grow hemp in America during the 17th & 18th century was against the law. You could be jailed! ( Hemp in Colonial Virginia , G. M. Herdon). 80% of all textiles, fabrics, cloths, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc.....were made from hemp until 1820's
