ABSTRACT
Cannabis preparations have been employed in the treatment of numerous diseases, with marked differences in the available supporting data (see Table II, I), For applications such as nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy, anorexia and cachexia in HIV / AIDS, and spasticity in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury, there is strong evidence for medical benefits. For indications such as epilepsy, movement disorders, and depression, much less data is available. However, the history of clinical use of cannabis and cannabinoids has demonstrated that the scientilic evidence for a specilic indication does not implicitly rellect the actual therapeutic potential for a given disease.
