Description

Natalie Strand and thirteen co-authors review medical cannabis for pain in a 2023 society statement. Interest in cannabis for chronic pain has surged, and serious harms seem rare. Hard evidence for benefit, though, remains thin for most conditions.

The panel grades the published evidence condition by condition. Cancer pain has the most direct support, yet even there three large trials earn only a weak recommendation. Neuropathic pain studies exist but lack the quality for firm guidance. The review follows society guidelines work from the American Society of Pain and Neuroscience. Its careful grading helps clinicians counsel patients honestly. Readers get a map of where cannabis evidence is solid, shaky, or absent.
