No usable statements on indications for the use of cannabis flowers, cannabis extract or pure substances can be found. There are clear reasons for this.
On a scientific basis, there are no confirmed indications for the use of cannabis. Cannabis does not rank first in a single indication. It has also often been tried as an additive to first-line therapies without stringent results.
Undoubtedly, there is a vast amount of experience reports and success stories etc., whose motivations raise further questions. But one thing is certain: Since the middle of the 19th century there have been attempts in various fields to establish cannabis as a medicine. Until today, the scientific data situation is very poor and cannot justify the medical use.
Cannabis products, especially those containing tetrahydrocannabiol (THC), have a certain reputation in the treatment of appetite disorders and nausea/vomiting, mostly in connection with malignant diseases and their targeted chemotherapy, for the improvement of typical side effects, for example.
Cannabidiol , which is not subject to narcotic prescription regulations, has shown effects in spasticity, e.g. in multiple sclerosis. This substance lacks its own risk of addiction. All indications in pain therapy prove to be problematic. The study situation is also very weak here.
