As more and more states (21 states and rising) are making medical marijuana legal for certain chronic conditions, WebMD decided to produce a special report on medical marijuana. They asked me to look into what does the science say about whether marijuana really helps those with various chronic conditions? There have been about 150 small clinical studies over the past 20 years, which seem to indicate some positive impact, particular for pain and appetite stimulation, but most data remains anecdotal. See my story here.
I also wrote a story on the status of medical marijuana in the states here.
And here is WebMD’s whole and excellent special report.
This was a fascinating story to research and write.
