The Cannabis Conversations Part V: Cannabis As Medicine? with Dr. Robert Wolff

Marijuana has been legalized for medicinal use in thirty-one states. Those states have listed a variety of medical conditions approved for treatment with cannabis, but how solid is the scientific evidence that cannabis is actually effective in the treatment of those conditions?

Dr. Robert Wolff, author of the most extensive systematic reviews of cannabinoids used in medicine, joins the podcast and analyzes the strength of the scientific evidence supporting the use of cannabis as medicine, and separates fact from fiction in the medical cannabis debate.
