Medical cannabis research investigates the potential therapeutic applications and
safety of marijuana and its derivatives for medical purposes. Researchers explore
the effects of cannabinoids, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol),
on various medical conditions and symptoms including chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple
sclerosis, nausea, psychological trauma and more. Researchers investigate the delivery
mechanisms, optimal dosage and potential side effects of medical marijuana, aiming
to provide evidence-based knowledge to guide medical professionals in prescribing
cannabis-based treatments and to inform healthcare policies and regulations.
