Pharmacy and Wellness Review
Species of the Cannabis plant genus were among the earliest medicinal plants cultivated by man, with historical accounts of their medicinal uses dating back before the Common Era. Despite its current legal status, Cannabis has garnered nationwide attention as a therapeutic agent for various disease states, including chronic headaches, due to its medical indications as an antispastic, analgesic, antiemetic, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory agent.

Pharmacy and Wellness Review
As marijuana becomes legalized for medical use, it is important for prescribers and pharmacists to be knowledgeable about the important aspects of marijuana such as mechanism of action, indications and abuse potential. Although marijuana's medicinal benefits are frequently reported, the risks, namely cardiovascular risks, associated with its utilization are often overlooked. Use of marijuana has been reported to increase the risk of myocardial infarction, tachycardia and hypotension, among others. Health care providers must determine if marijuana's benefits outweigh such risks when marijuana therapy is an option. It is also important for pharmacists to understand how to successfully counsel patients using …

Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Opioid use, abuse, and associated mortality have reached an epidemic level. In some states, cannabis is being used to treat chronic pain. To examine the hypothesis that medical marijuana legislation may reduce adverse opioid-related outcomes if patients substitute cannabis for opioids for pain management, we conducted a clinical inquiry (Clin-IQ).

We included population-based articles published from January 1, 2012, through December 5, 2018, that assessed the relationship …

There is a crack in everything — that’s how the light gets in
Leonard Cohen, Anthem
In an era often characterized as one of growing convergence of the laws
governing criminal activities in different countries, the issue-area of cannabis
policy undergoes processes of fragmentation and polarization. Some countries
continue to criminalize all forms of medical and recreational uses of
cannabis. Others have sought to “separate the market” for cannabis from
that of other drugs by decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of
marijuana, authorizing its use for medical purposes, and establishing
administrative measures for taxing and regulating the commercial sale …
