🌿 What does the evidence really say about medical cannabis?
A new JAMA review highlights a clear message: cannabis helps few conditions—and harms may outweigh benefits for many.
📉 Small benefit for nausea
⚡ Moderate benefit for select pediatric seizures
💊 Limited evidence for pain, insomnia, or psychiatric use
❤️ Risks rise with high-potency products, especially for heart and mental health.
🧭 Clinicians: guide with evidence, screen carefully, use lowest-risk options.
