Cannabis is medicine. To advocates of using the therapeutic
properties of the hemp plant, this may seem like an obvious fact, but certain
circles of society or individual representatives of the commercial lobby still
try very hard to downplay the health benefits that the plant can provide. In
many cases, opponents of the therapeutic properties of cannabis still cling to
the false claim that the plant does not provide any therapeutic benefits,
however, statistical and clinical evidence already clearly demonstrates that
the plant does indeed have enormous health benefits and can be successfully
used to treat a number of diseases.
In particular, a group of researchers from McGill State
Research University published their findings in the journal Cannabis and
cannabinoid Research ”, analyzing information from registered consumers /
patients using the therapeutic properties of the hemp plant in Canada. Survey
respondents reported sustained improvements in their overall health. For
example, Canadians who are allowed to use various hemp products that contain
significant amounts of natural cannabinoids for medical purposes report
sustained improvements in their quality of life associated with improved
well-being.
Canadian experts from McGill State Research University
evaluated the safety and effectiveness of hemp products with a high content of
natural cannabinoids in a group of 2991 people. The subjects of the study used
for treatment the leaves and inflorescences of the plant or other derivatives
of hemp raw materials, which included a significant amount of therapeutically
active substances used by them for one year.
The researchers state that “All of the effects reported by
users/patients show a statistically as well as clinically significant
improvement in their health status after 3 months of using therapeutically
active hemp ingredients that was maintained or improved (in terms of pain,
fatigue, anxiety, and general well-being). well-being) during the remainder of
the 12-month follow-up period compared to their baseline."
The authors of the study concluded that
"therapeutically active cannabis is a safe and effective means of
improving health status, clearly manifested within 3 months after the start of
its use."
