The medical use of marijuana has been fought, argued and debated for many years. Lawmakers, doctors, researchers and users claim marijuana’s effectiveness for medical treatments for pain. A study from McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and McGill University researchers found that marijuana can give relieve those suffering from chronic neuropathic pain.
The results of the study are published in the most recent issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
The lead author of the study, Dr. Mark Ware, who is a neuroscience researcher at the Research Institute of the MUHC, said that this was the first time that patients were permitted to smoke cannabis at their homes and have their responses monitored.
In the study, a low dose of inhaled marijuana, which contains approximately ten percent THC, was smoked in one inhalation and revealed a reduction of pain in patients suffering with neuropathic pain.
