BestGrinder.net, a leading review website that helps medical marijuana (MMJ) users find the ideal grinder for their needs and preferences, has launched a unique “MMJ Patient Scholarship” for graduating high school students.
The scholarship is valued at $2,000, and open to any graduating high school senior in the U.S. or Canada 18 years of age or older. To be eligible, applicants must submit a 500-800 word essay about how medical marijuana has helped them with their medical condition. The submission deadline is April 5, 2017, and the winner will be selected, by no coincidence, on April 20, 2017 (4:20).
To ensure fairness and transparency, prior to being awarded the scholarship a prospective winner must be willing to provide proof of statements made in their essay. He or she must also be willing to submit a scanned copy of their medical marijuana card to confirm their status as a legal user. Full details of the MMJ Patient Scholarship, including terms and conditions, are available at: http://www.bestgrinder.net/bestgrinder-nets-mmj-patient-scholarship.
As reported by CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, medical marijuana may have the potential to treat several serious and debilitating ailments and diseases, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, glaucoma, arthritis, asthma, Crohn’s, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and even cancer.
Furthermore, legal medical marijuana usage among teens is growing, as more families and doctors recognize that with respect to both efficacy and side effects, cannabis is an alternative to some harsh pharmaceuticals. In May, 2016 The Virginian Pilot told the story of how medical marijuana was helping a Virginia Beach, VA teen with epilepsy reduce the frequency and severity of his seizures. And in November, 2015 PEOPLE magazine featured a New Jersey teenager who won the right to take medical marijuana at school.
“For many young adults with serious medical conditions, medical marijuana may be a legitimate and beneficial option they may want to explore with their doctor and family,” commented Brian Cooper, the founder of BestGrinder.net. “In addition to showing our support for the growing MMJ community, we hope that our scholarship creates awareness and gets people exploring the facts and evidence, instead of succumbing to misinformation and misrepresentation.”
