Someone with extreme pms cramps would be fine while taking pot, symptoms will reappear when the pot is stopped. That is not elimination, that is suppression.
I see what you mean, and of course pot doesnt magically eliminate problems. What i meant to say is that most drugs given for digestive diseases for example, only mask symptoms while many times giving you much harsher side effects or worse disease, where marijuana does not. Unless you cosider the munchies side or slight short term memory loss a bad side effect. Drugs like prednisone destroys your internal organs, bones, and nervous system but every docter and their mom prescribes it for many disorders, when you can prescripe a natural plant that in some ways promotes your health. Cannaboids have been proven very beneficial against disease.
