A new study on the impacts of medical marijuana on older adults finds that cannabis-based products may provide multiple therapeutic benefits for the demographic, including for health, well-being, sleep and mood. Authors also observed “sizable reductions in pain severity and pain interference among older aged patients [reporting] chronic pain as their primary condition.” The research, published this week in the journal Drugs and Aging, is meant to address what authors call “a general paucity of high quality research” around cannabis and older adults “and a common methodological practice of excluding those aged over 65 years from clinical trials” at a time when older patients are increasingly turning to medical marijuana for relief. #drugsandaging # cannabisandelderly #medicalmarijuanaforolderadults #cannabisresearch #marijuanaresearch #medicalmarijuana  https://lnkd.in/gMAySkcH

Medical Marijuana Patients See Improved Quality Of Life And Lower Pain, Anxiety And Depression After Three Months Of Use, Study Shows Patients with chronic health conditions saw significant improvements in overall quality of life and reductions in fatigue during the first three months of medical marijuana use, according to a new study of more than 2,300 people. “Patients experiencing anxiety, depression, or chronic pain also improved in those outcomes over 3 months,” the study found. Published this week in the journal PLoS ONE, the report analyzed responses from Australian patients eligible for the QUEST Initiative, which researchers describe as a “large prospective multicenter study of patients with any chronic health condition newly prescribed medicinal cannabis between November 2020 and December 2021.” Participants’ ages ranged between 18 and 97 years (with a mean of 51), and 62.8 percent were female. #cannabisnews #marijuanamoment #improvedlifewithcannabis #mastercarddontcareabouthelpingforreal #mastercardandbigpharmahatesyou #medical #medicalmarijuana #herbsofeden #herbsofedencbd #cannabis #cannabisculture #cannabisbusiness https://lnkd.in/dGfmiQqX

Medical cannabis could offer relief for chronic pain, which could potentially reduce the number of patients who take opioids for pain management. Cannabinoids could be a better option for pain reduction, which studies are continuing to support. This ties into the reclassification of marijuana. We can hopefully anticipate more in-depth and clinical studies into the medical benefits of marijuana. #MedicalMarijuana #MedicalCannabis #PainManagement

  Cannabis and Glaucoma: A Hopeful Look Ahead 😄 Some key highlights from Cannabiscientia SA’s excellent article.        ·        Glaucoma, a group of eye diseases leading to blindness, often involves increased pressure within the eye. It can lead to irreversible vision loss and affects 64 million people worldwide.       ·        While traditional treatments focus on lowering this pressure, medical cannabis has emerged as a potential alternative.         ·        Studies suggest cannabinoids, like THC, effectively reduce pressure and slow glaucoma progression. However, challenges like short duration of action and potential side effects exist. More research is needed.        ·        In addition to THC, CBD, CBG, and PEA promise to reduce pressure with fewer side effects, opening doors for future research.         ·        Dr. Lorenzo Calvi's success story emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment, considering individual needs, and maximizing the synergy between cannabinoids and terpenes.     ·        While scientific evidence surrounding cannabis and glaucoma is still debated, Dr. Calvi's clinical experience showcases its potential, especially for treatment-resistant cases.          ·         Research continues to unravel the complexities of cannabis in managing glaucoma. Resources like "Principles of Clinical Cannabinology" offer valuable insights for healthcare professionals and patients.  Read the full article below. #cannabis #marijuana #medicalcannabis #cannabisscience #medicine  #education #Health ·
