ABSTRACT
Cannabis has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Although the use of cannabis in its whole, natural form is prohibited in many countries, public interest in its medicinal use has increasingly led to its legalization for this purpose in several localities. Prescription cannabis-based pharmaceuticals have been developed and used for the management of nausea, vomiting, anorexia, muscle spasticity and pain. Available research suggests that both pharmaceutical and natural cannabinoids may provide relief of some of these conditions.
