Cancer
One of marijuana’s most known side effects is the increase of appetite. For cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, this can help them gain nutrition and keep down food. Marijuana also helps with the chronic pain and nausea that chemotherapy is associated with. There is also some evidence to suggest that marijuana usage can help to reduce the speed in growth of some cancers.
HIV
HIV patients suffer from some of the same debilitating symptoms that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy endure. Marijuana helps these patients in the same way: reducing nausea and pain, as well as increasing appetite.
Neuropathy
People with neuropathy experience pain, numbness, weakness and a failure of body functionality. Marijuana use has been seen to reduce symptoms of the disorder whilst offering an effective alternative to those not responding to conventional treatment.

Use of the cannabinoid cannabinol (CBD) has been shown to drastically reduce the number of seizures that some epilepsy patients encounter.
