What the research says

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses from PubMed, with their published conclusions.

BModerate research base

At least one meta-analysis, or 5+ randomized controlled trials. The grade measures how much human research exists — read the conclusions below for what it found.

Epidemiol Prev · 2017 · Meta-analysis / systematic review
[Systematic review of safeness and therapeutic efficacy of cannabis in patients with multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, and in oncological patients treated with chemotherapy]

Conclusion: there is incomplete evidence of the efficacy and safety of medical use of cannabis in the clinical contexts considered in this review. Furthermore, for many of the outcomes considered, the confidence in the estimate of the effect was again low or very low. To give conclusive answers to the efficacy and safety of cannabis used for medical purposes in the clinical contexts considered, further studies are needed, with higher quality, larger sample sizes, and possibly using the same diagnostic tools for evaluating outcomes of interest.

“I have a friend that went from insomnia where melatonin did nothing anymore to sleeps every night with the help of a small cannabis gummy.”

“I get some nootropic type benefits, such as improved creativity, lowered anxiety... However it does come with its side effects. I feel short term memory is probably the most obvious, but I've also noticed motivation and witty retorts in conversation doesn't come as easy.”
