Hemp has been used as a drug or medication across the world since thousands of years. Today numbers of patients suffering notably of cancer or AIDS, of multiple sclerosis, of epilepsy, and other diseases prove that smoking hemp helps the patients a lot . However, the therapeutic usage of hemp is still forbidden by the law on drugs and other substances and those that use hemp risk 6 months in jail and a 1’000 $ fine for doing so.
