“Expansion of medical marijuana (MM) laws in the United States may offer oncology new therapeutic options.
This study qualitatively explored professional opinion around the role of MM in cancer care.
Expert opinion was divided between conviction in marijuana’s medicinal potential to guardedness in this assertion, with no participant refuting MM’s utility outright.
Emergent themes included: that MM ameliorates cancer-related pain and nausea and is safer than certain conventional medications.
Participants called for enhanced purity and production standards, and further research on MM’s utility.”
