Cannabis has many potential medicinal benefits and has been used to treat various ailments throughout history.
Today, edible cannabis product usage among patients is becoming increasingly popular, and polls consistently show most healthcare professionals believe that cannabis should be a medical option for patients.
May benefit certain health conditions
Edible cannabis products are often used to treat conditions, such as:
chronic pain
cancer-related symptoms
anxiety
Medical cannabis products can legally be prescribed in countries around the world, including Italy, Spain, and Germany, and “recommended” by physicians in dozens of U.S. states that have legalized cannabis
THC is one of over 100 unique compounds — known as cannabinoids — in cannabis.
THC is the compound responsible for the intoxicating properties of cannabis products, including edibles, that may induce feelings of euphoria and relaxation
THC is also believed to be the primary compound responsible for the pain-relieving effects of cannabis.
Other compounds in cannabis, such as CBD, are non-intoxicating and have been shown to have anxiety-reducing or anti-inflammatory properties.
Edible cannabis products, such as oils, tinctures, pills, and gummies, are commonly used to treat poor appetite, pain, and weight loss in people who have cancer
Additionally, these products may reduce pain and muscle spasms, relieve nausea and vomiting, enhance sleep quality, and improve anxiety
In fact, pharmaceutical companies manufacture oral preparations of cannabis-derived treatments, such as Sativex, which is an oral spray that contains equal amounts of THC and CBD prescribed to treat pain and muscle spasticity
Though edible cannabis products are commonly used to treat many other ailments, such as digestive and neurological disorders, high quality research in these areas is lacking.
Therefore, the full therapeutic potential of cannabis is still unknown
