Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids
In the report The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: The Current State of Evidence and Recommendations for Research, an expert, ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents nearly 100 conclusions related to the health effects of cannabis and cannabinoid use.
The committee developed standard language to categorize the weight of the evidence regarding whether cannabis or cannabinoids used for therapeutic purposes are an effective or ineffective treatment for certain prioritized health conditions, or whether cannabis or cannabinoids used primarily for recreational purposes are statistically associated with certain prioritized health conditions. The box on the next page describes these categories and the general parameters for the types of evidence supporting each category.
The numbers in parentheses after each conclusion correspond to chapter conclusion numbers. Each blue header below links to the corresponding chapter in the report, providing much more detail regarding the committee’s findings and conclusions. .. .. .. continued in the PDF.
