Start with the basics
Evidence deserves context.
Potential benefits
Evidence suggests modest benefits for some chronic pain and multiple sclerosis symptoms. Certain cannabinoid medicines have approved uses. This does not mean all cannabis products treat those conditions.
Personal circumstances
Health conditions, age, medicines, product ingredients, and route of use all matter. Older adults may be more sensitive to adverse effects. Ask a clinician or pharmacist to review your situation.
