Welcome to Medical-MarijuanaDispensary.com! Here, you will find critical information on marijuana, the uses of medical marijuana in pain control and management, health benefits of marijuana — but also its health risks, and last but certainly not least, medical marijuana laws as well as regulations surrounding the production and sale of so-called “controlled substances” in general.

Ever since it’s been introduced into the United States, mainly by Mexican migrants at the beginning of the 20th century, marijuana as a plant and as a recreational drug has had an extensive and often muddled history in America. But what is marijuana — and what is medical marijuana; that is, the use of marijuana as a prescription drug? You can find out on the “What is Medical Marijuana?” page.

Most people know that the use of marijuana, even as medical marijuana for pain control, is illegal on the federal level, where the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, is in charge of executing federal drug prohibition. Many are also vaguely aware that some parts of the United States have more of a de facto toleration of at least medical marijuana on the local and state levels, but especially when it comes to the relationship between local, state, and federal law and its enforcement, many of the issues surrounding marijuana in general and medical marijuana in particular are unclear. To bring some clarity to these critical legal issues, check out the “Medical Marijuana Laws” section of this web site.

Marijuana also has many alleged health benefits, as well as serious health risks, but it must be noted that a lot of the research in this regard is deficient precisely because of the murky legal status of marijuana and its relationship to the broader so-called “War on Drugs” that the U.S. federal authorities have been waging since the Nixon era in the 1970s.

Some of the better-established — as well as the more speculative — health benefits of medical marijuana, as well as the health risks of marijuana, are discussed under the “Medical Marijuana Benefits” and “Medical Marijuana Risks” pages, respectively. We hope you’ll find this site to be very informative and helpful.
