More states are passing laws that allow people to use medical marijuana. So what does it treat, and who can and should use it? Pain is the main reason people ask for a prescription, says Barth Wilsey, MD, a pain medicine specialist at the University of California Davis Medical Center.

Tinnitus is the term for hearing sounds that come from inside your body, rather than from an outside source. It's often described as ringing in the ears, although several sounds can be heard, including: buzzing. humming. grinding. hissing.
People with tinnitus hear noises in their ears. Each person with tinnitus experiences it differently. Tinnitus is from the Latin word for ringing, and to some people the noise does indeed sound like ringing. Others describe their ear noise as roaring, rushing, hissing, chirping, beeping, buzzing, whistling, or clicking. The sound might be high-pitched, low-pitched, or multi-toned, or it might sound like static.
