Medical cannabis is indicated in chronic illnesses where pharmaceutical medication was not effective to relieve symptoms or has caused unwanted side effects. There is substantial evidence that medical cannabis is a safe and effective treatment for patients with chronic pain, chemotherapy-induced side effects and spasticity from multiple sclerosis.
From The Pain Clinic’s case studies, we have observed that medical cannabis can help ease symptoms in many chronic medical conditions where patients did not respond sufficiently to conventional medication, suggesting that the endocannabinoid system may be involved in the pathology of chronic illnesses.
