Pain relief without the high
New study underscores need for more research on CBD and pain.
In case you’ve missed it, CNN and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, its Chief Medical Correspondent, have been running a series on medical marijuana. After a recent episode on the benefits of using marijuana over opioids, Dr. Gupta published an open letter to U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions.
“Before I started this worldwide, in-depth investigation, I was not particularly impressed by the results of medical marijuana research,” Gupta wrote. “But a few years later, as I started to dedicate time with patients and scientists in various countries, I came to a different conclusion. Not only can cannabis work for a variety of conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and pain, sometimes, it is the only thing that works.”
