Description:
Cannabis legalization has advanced significantly since California's medical legalization in 1996, with increasing public support and broader distinctions between medical and recreational use. Medically, cannabis shows promise for specific conditions: CBD is approved for seizures, and THC aids nausea and appetite in cancer patients. However, evidence on pain relief remains mixed due to the wide range of administration methods and cannabinoids, requiring more rigorous studies. On the downside, cannabis use disorder is recognized in the DSM, and cannabis can exacerbate mental health issues, particularly for adolescents or those predisposed to psychosis or schizophrenia. Legalization offers public health benefits by shifting cannabis from the underground market to regulated businesses, ensuring product safety and labeling while addressing social inequities by reducing the disproportionate criminalization of minority communities.
