Excerpt:
According to the Mayo Clinic's Mary Murry, anywhere between 50 to 90 percent of pregnant women experience some nausea - to varying degrees. For most women, the nausea peaks, says Murry, around nine weeks and ends by about the 18th or 19th week of pregnancy. For five percent of unlucky women, however, it persists until the bitter end. It's hardly surprising. If you've been pregnant or know someone who has, it's likely that the saccharine sweet euphemism "morning sickness" doesn't do justice to what you or your friends have felt. For some pregnant women, the nausea passes quickly and easily. For others it becomes a daily - or even hourly - battle between ones' body and ones' intellectual understanding that if one doesn't consume a crumb of food at some point one will slowly starve or starve ones' poor, growing embryo or fetus. This condition is called hyperemesis gravidarum and the constant vomiting and nausea lead to extreme weight loss and even malnutrition for the woman. It's dangerous.

My Thoughts:
Time and again, we need to stop with this stigma against cannabis. More and more evidence is being discovered from numerous, reputable studies suggesting the great healing qualities of cannabis. This article here is just another clue to the goodness of cannabis. My heart goes out to all the women who suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum during pregnancy and have found no effective treatments. Plain and simple, let's legalize people!
