Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The potential of cannabis to treat medical problems has drawn more attention. The adverse effects of exposure can be unpredictable because to the variety of cannabis-based products available. Our goal was to perform a scoping assessment of systematic reviews that evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of cannabis-based medications for any kind of illness. While research about the negative side effects of medicinal cannabis use during cancer therapy is still developing, it is prescribed for ailments like pain, epilepsy, nausea, and vomiting. Adverse occurrences (AEs) should be taken into account for their consequences on workplace health and safety (WHS) because they may affect workers' performance. Numerous studies have examined cannabis use disorder in recreational users, and these results are frequently extrapolated to patients who use medical cannabis. The possibility that using medical cannabis could result in dependence is a topic of much debate. Therefore, answering these questions is essential to minimizing the negative effects of medical cannabis use. Access to medicinal cannabis markets, which provide a growing variety of powerful cannabis medicines, is available to 63% of the US population
