Science is the cornerstone of hemp's therapeutic potential.
Modern science does not always know which particular plant elements “work” as efficiently as possible for a particular disease, and, among other things, scientists are not always able to identify individual plant elements . It documented a number of cases, when in fact not known elements of cannabis , with significant therapeutic potential have become a key factor in healing the patient , and the nature of this kind of treatment is not currently installed.
To date, more than 500 different compounds have been identified in cannabis , including about 120 unique cannabinoids that are unique to hemp plants ( hello to storytellers who claim that they have a similar profile in hops, plankton, algae, etc. ).
Another exclusive property of hemp is the fact that different varieties of plants can have completely different profiles of therapeutically active substances , which in turn determines their different effects on the human body . That is why clinical research underlies the understanding of the exclusive therapeutic properties of hemp .
The search for registered clinical trials revealed a total of 936 studies in which the plant is mentioned as part of the experimental design and 629 studies in which cannabidiol is mentioned .
This refers to experiments in which the therapeutic properties of a plant or its individual elements were studied . It should be noted that the ongoing research on the characteristics of hemp , which can be used for medical purposes, is rapidly "gaining momentum." For example, since the beginning of the XXI century there has been a real explosion of clinical trials of hemp plants : 82% of all the above experiments were conducted after 2000, and 38% since 2017.
Registered clinical trials of cannabis
Despite the fact that hemp is a controlled substance in accordance with US federal law , more than half of the registered clinical trials of the plant were conducted in this country . In addition, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration recently announced that it will begin reviewing new applications for federal licenses for the legal cultivation of hemp with therapeutic properties in order to improve the variety and quality of hemp raw materials available to researchers in the United States .
The lack of reliable clinical trial data currently means that many aspects of the medical properties of hemp require careful study: methods of use , dosage, interaction with other drugs and assessment of side effects. As research and clinical trials continue, new knowledge about cannabis will be reflected in the teachings of medical schools and related treatment or rehabilitation programs , which will allow health workers to feel more confident in the appointment and control of the use of hemp with therapeutic properties .
That is why the hemp industry around the world is actively promoting the idea that a deep understanding of acceptable and safe for patients methods of using the therapeutic properties of hemp is necessary . For this purpose, various training platforms are being formed in the USA , Great Britain and Ireland , within the framework of which the medical and social workers are provided with up-to-date information regarding all aspects of prescribing, as well as using the therapeutic properties of hemp .
Commentary experts of the Association " Ukrainian industrial hemp "
To our deepest regret, in Ukraine there is no legal framework regulating the possibility of using hemp for medical and scientific purposes . In spite of this the country are working professionals who conduct clinical trials of therapeutic properties of the cannabis plant for the border . The highlight of the study of the therapeutic properties of hemp is the fact that during the use of various varieties of plants all the time, compounds unknown to modern science are found that have enormous therapeutic properties .
The profile of one of the industrial hemp varieties of therapeutic focus , created in Ukraine
For example, therapeutic therapeutic hemp leaves and inflorescences are extremely effectively used outside of Ukraine for the treatment of various forms of serious diseases , and practicing physicians, as well as patients, are not very interested in which particular element or group of plant compounds help them cope with the disease . The highlight of this kind of treatment is the fact that modern science does not always know which particular plant elements “work” as efficiently as possible for a particular disease, and, among other things, scientists are not always able to identify individual plant elements . It documented a number of cases, when in fact not known elements of cannabis , with significant therapeutic potential have become a key factor in healing the patient , and the nature of this kind of treatment is not currently installed.
