Medical marijuana has been making breakthroughs for years with technology continuing to advance at a rapid pace.
With laws changing all of the time and more research being done on the medical benefits of cannabinoids found in marijuana, we are witnessing some exciting things happening in the medical industry. We’ve compiled a list of just ten of the more recent major medical marijuana.
1. Brain Cancer
Glioblastoma multiforme is a serious and often fatal form of brain cancer. An average of 70 percent of patients diagnosed with the disease had a chance of surviving and most did not live past two years from the initial diagnosis.
British-based GW Pharmaceuticals however has brought new hope to patients with this form of cancer thanks to cannabis. The company tested two groups of patients: one group was given medical marijuana containing both THC and CBD and the other group was given a placebo. Those who took the medical marijuana had an increased life expectancy of six months longer than those who took the placebo. Hopefully as research continues, this expectancy can go beyond six months.
