Abstract

Cannabis A Novel (Old) Herbal with many applications, the dried leaves to be used for medicinal purposes is derived from the hemp plant marijuana and has been considered a wonder weapon in all diseases. purpose of this review is to look at the current scientific literature on marijuana and its overall effects in different medical areas (neurological disorders, psychiatric conditions, pain management/cancer-related symptoms/cardiovascular/metabolic diseases). While we know that compounds like THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system in ways which produce positive outcomes, their complete impact on human health is a chapter of history still being written. However, there are also emerging concerns regarding adverse digestive effects and the regulatory headache around marijuana. Further work is needed to define appropriate safety profiles, optimal dosing, and successful integration into clinical practice. This review highlights marijuana's emergent role in contemporary medicine and the need for clinical trials to further its therapeutic use within patient safety and regulatory criterion.
