The first high quality study looking at the impact of cannabidiol oil on palliative care patients with advanced cancer found it did not improve their pain, depression, anxiety, or quality of life.
Palliative care is one of the conditions for which medicinal cannabis has been approved in Australia.
“Our next study will look at a combination of CBD and THC to see if you
need to have THC to get any benefit from medicinal cannabis. The problem with
that is CBD is very popular because it doesn’t have the psychoactive effects.
It means you can drive and do other activities while on it, whereas it’s
illegal to drive on THC, whether it’s taken for recreational or medicinal
purposes.”……………..
