Description

Simon Erridge and co-authors tracked cannabis medicines on a UK registry in two thousand twenty-three. Patients report quality of life gains from these products. But studied products vary wildly between trials. This registry used one brand family throughout. Nearly fourteen hundred patients entered the final analysis. Their outcomes were followed for a full year.

Patient-reported measures were taken at set intervals. Adverse events were logged alongside the benefits. Many patients already used cannabis at baseline. Scores shifted from baseline across the months. Homogeneity makes the pattern easier to read. The registry approach trades randomization for realism. Clinicians gain a large, consistent evidence base.
