Howdy there little Buckaroos!
Don't let anyone tell you that there hasn't been enough research on cannabis to use it as medicine. It has been used as medicine since the dawn of time. The earliest written reference to the use of cannabis as medicine occurred in China around 2,800 BC, in the medical text known as the Pen Ts'ao of the legendary Emperor Shen-Nung.
The whole plant is useful from the leaves and flowers to the roots. Even the seeds have medicinal properties. The seeds, made into a paste and used as an unguent, is a folk remedy for tumors and cancerous ulcers.
The Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica calls for the use of hemp seeds as treatment for:
Intestinal problems
Aftermath of colds (febrile diseases)
Post partum
Blood (nutritional) deficiency
Promotes healing of sores and ulcerations
Now here's some real Old Time Medicine. This preparation was used in China in the year 220 AD!
Medical author Zhang Zhongjing gives us his cure for constipation and Spleen Restriction.
Pills of Fructus Cannabis (Maziren Wan)
Fructus Cannabis 2 sheng
Radix Paeoniae 0.5 jin
Fructus Aurantii Immaturua 1 jin
Radix et Rhizoma Rhei 1 jin
Semen Armeniacae Amarum 1 sheng
Pound the drugs into powder, and form pills the size of Chinese Parasol seeds with honey. Take ten pills three times a day. Gradually increase dosage until normal defecation is observed.
I've taken the liberty to update the units of measure and ingredients to something that folks are familiar with today.

Cannabis Seed 2000 grams
Peony Root 250 grams
Immature Bitter Orange 500 grams
Rhubarb Root 500 grams
Bitter Apricot Kernel 1000 grams
