Medical marijuana involves the use of cannabis plants or their derivatives to treat a range of health conditions. It contains cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, which interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to help manage symptoms. This therapeutic approach is used to alleviate chronic pain, reduce nausea and vomiting, improve appetite, and address muscle spasms, among other conditions. Medical marijuana can be administered in various forms, including oils, capsules, edibles, and inhalants, depending on the patient&’s needs and preferences. The legal status of medical marijuana varies globally and within countries, with some regions having established frameworks for its use and others still debating its regulations.

Patients typically require a prescription or recommendation from a licensed healthcare provider to access medical marijuana, and its use is often subject to specific guidelines and limitations. As research continues to evolve, ongoing studies aim to better understand its efficacy, safety, and potential side effects, contributing to more informed medical and legal decisions.
