Summary

Researchers examined over 3,000 studies conducted since January of this year, finding that only 25 studies had scientifically valid evidence. Conducted by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the review used data from scientifically valid studies that included randomized controlled studies and observational studies. A federally funded review on cannabis products highlighted the small number of studies that exist on medicinal cannabis, something that surprised researchers. The study’s results show how important it is for the government to encourage cannabis research in any way they can, providing users with the information they need to stay safe and informed. Despite this, the study found some evidence of the plant’s impact on pain management.
