Researchers have already approved the use of Marijuana for medicinal purposes.....

But on a serious note.... Reason for this research information is because Black Americans are less likely to have regular routine checkups... Lack of Health Care Coverage... Lack of Trusts for Health Care Givers and also.... Health Care Professionals are also responsible because they will not go over the top to make certain that their patients (black) receive the better care.... they do not advise and educate patients on simple health care matters. More Blacks suffer from Hypertension, High Cholesterol, Type II Diabetes, Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer... because of the lack of educating. Talking to individuals. ...... That's one of the primary reasons I am into health care.. My grandparents were blessed, we were concerned and we took charge when it came down to health!
