Update posted by Islam Waheed

The potential benefits of medicinalCannabis for people living with cancerinclude antiemetic effects, appetitestimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep. Although few relevant surveys of practice patterns exist, it appears that physicians caring for cancer patients in the United States who recommend medicinalCannabis do so predominantly for symptom management.A growing number ofpediatric patients are seeking symptom relief with Cannabis or cannabinoid treatment, although studies are limited.
