Marijuana and CBD have no effect on pain relief, a major review has found.
The review looked at more than a dozen studies in 11 countries involving 1,459 people from early 2000s to September 2021.
The researchers said: ‘Our team observed no significant difference between cannabis and a placebo for reducing pain.’
Official figures show around a fifth of marijuana users in the US are prescribed medical cannabis. Estimates suggest a quarter of all Americans use CBD oil, with the main reason being pain (64 per cent).
It comes after researchers at Cleveland Clinic found that cannabis users were significantly more likely to suffer pain after surgery.
It comes amid a cannabis revolution in the US with more than half of states legalizing the drug for medical reasons, including the treatment of pain. A total of 21 states have permitted its use recreationally.
Pot may help you fall asleep, but for pain?
Nah…..
Another government propaganda campaign to further dumb down the American populace.
Keep cheering.
