Medical cannabis is a promising alternative for treating chronic pain and has grown into a trusted alternative for individuals suffering on a daily basis. Research has shown that THC is an effective pain reliever for cancer patients, individuals with pain related to the nervous system, migraines/headaches, and arthritis. Scientist have found that marijuana lacks the toxic side effects found in many traditional pain medicines.
Evidence suggests that cannabinoids are effective against nausea/vomiting caused by chemotherapy and pain associated with cancer.
Some studies on cancer cells suggest that cannabinoids may either slow down the growth of or kill some types of cancer.
In June 2018, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of a medication containing cannabidiol (CBD) to treat two rare, severe, and specific types of epilepsy — called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome — that are difficult to control with other types of medication. Patients with epilepsy who use medicinal marijuana report that the drug is very effective for their seizure control and mood disorders, according to research presented at the 67th Annual Meeting of the American Epilepsy Society.
Many PTSD victims have found that cannabis provides more relief than the commonly prescribed medications. The discovery that the ECS (Endocannabinoid System) is involved in the healing process of the mind to “forget” aversive memories seems to offer an explanation as to why it is helpful for this indication. Many studies have found that the patients who use cannabis to treat a range of medical problems including PTSD, anxiety, depression, agitation, and bi-polar disorder had largely improved cognitive performance, reduced clinical symptoms, and anxiety-related symptoms. As well as a reduced use of conventional medications, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and other mood stabilizers/antidepressants.
Nausea and vomiting can occur as a result of a variety of conditions such as acute viral illness (the flu), cancer, cancer chemotherapy or side effects from other medications, radiation treatment, post-operative recovery, motion sickness and poisoning. There is clear evidence-based research that supports the anti-emetic effects of cannabis for persons suffering from nausea and vomiting. The 1999 IOM report, Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base, agreed that the evidence supported the anti-emetic effects of cannabis.
Marijuana/Cannabis has been portrayed as a gateway drug of abuse that leads to the use of and addiction to stronger drugs. The psychoactive effects of cannabis have been cited as a reason it cannot be used as a legitimate medicine. When compared to other drugs of abuse, cannabis does not measure up to the addictive potential of tobacco, alcohol, other illicit drugs, or prescribed medications such as opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants or barbiturates. Documented medical use of cannabis, anecdotal reports, and new research indicate that rather than a gateway drug to addiction, cannabis holds promise as an exit drug from other drug addictions. Cannabis is a drug and has indications and contraindications. People with psychotic disorders probably should not use cannabis. As with any drug, it should be used in the smallest effective dose.
