Nearly a decade after the legalization of medical Cannabis in California,  a landmark study that was peer-reviewed by the Journal Drug and Alcohol Review gave us the best look at what the patient population of a comprehensive medical Cannabis program could achieve as an “alternate substitute to current pharmacological treatments,” which began a title wave of State Legalization for medical Cannabis. Between 2015-2016, an additional ten states legalized the use of medical Cannabis with a further nine states expanding its medicinal applications. The study concluded that 92% of participants reported that “Medical Marijuana helped alleviate symptoms or treat a serious medical condition,” a far better result than most traditional drugs receive. The report also found that one-in-twenty California adults, roughly 1.4 million people, reported using Medical Marijuana to treat serious illnesses and that such use spanned all ages, genders, races, and geographical regions.
