“While many people turn to cannabis seeking relief, our review highlights significant gaps between public perception and scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness for most medical conditions,” Hsu said.

They compared medical cannabis sold at dispensaries with pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoids — the handful of FDA-approved drugs containing either THC, a psychoactive compound, or CBD, which doesn’t cause a high.The researchers found these medications delivered real benefits for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, boosting weight in patients with HIV/AIDS-related appetite loss and easing certain severe pediatric seizure disorders.Even though more than half of users try it for acute pain, Hsu and his team found no solid clinical evidence that it works. Current guidelines don’t recommend cannabis-based treatments as a first-line option for pain management.They also found that research on medical cannabis for conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, PTSD, Parkinson’s disease, and rheumatoid arthritis was weak or inconclusive at best.They were also more likely to develop generalized anxiety disorder, with 19.1% experiencing it versus 11.6% of their peers using weaker cannabis.

They also urged physicians to consider potential drug interactions and weigh the possible harms against the benefits when deciding whether to prescribe medical cannabis. “Clear guidance from clinicians is essential to support safe, evidence-based decision-making when discussing medical cannabis with their patients,” Hsu said. The researchers acknowledged several limitations, noting that the study wasn’t a systematic review and didn’t include a formal risk-of-bias assessment. They also pointed out that some of the research was observational and could have been influenced by confounding factors. The findings may not apply to every patient due to differences in study design, the cannabis products tested, and participant characteristics. “Further research is crucial to better understand the potential benefits and risks of medical cannabis,” Hsu said. “By supporting more rigorous studies, we can provide clearer guidance and improve clinical care for patients.” Aside from the FDA-approved prescription medications, the federal government still lists cannabis as a Schedule I drug — the same category as heroin and LSD.Mental health company founder allegedly starts fire, crashes Tesla in Bay Area winery meltdownPursuing pleasure?
