In 2008 a group showed their support towards the extensive research and investigation of the medical functions of marijuana, which includes its very active element, the Delta 9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). A position paper called “Supporting Research into the Therapeutic Role of Marijuana” was submitted by this group and this group was the American College of Physicians in Philadelphia.
Federally, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance and doing legitimate research about its efficiency as a medicine was limited due to the constraints of its illegality. However, reports showed support as its key components showed positive results on curing host of maladies and even cancer.
During 1942, marijuana was still included in the public standard setting authority on medicine in the US, which is called US Pharmacopoeia. It is believed that the use of marijuana, for medical purposes, takes us back as far as 24th century BC, when Emperor Chen Nung discovered that it can treat malaria, rheumatism and gout.
