Patient experiences and perspectives regarding medicinal cannabis: a qualitative scoping review
A gap exists between generally positive patient-reported experiences and the cautious stance of the medical community, which calls for more definitive research. Patients often face stigma and bureaucratic hurdles, though support from physicians and social networks can ease access. Views on safety and effectiveness vary, as some see medicinal cannabis as natural and safe, while others remain sceptical.
