Medicinal Marijuana
Medicinal marijuana is a medication compose of compounds similar to those produced naturally by our bodies, use to alleviate certain medical conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic back pain. Additionally, medical cannabis may reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy treatments as well as help alleviate spasticity (tight muscles) experienced by multiple sclerosis patients and treat glaucoma and seizures.
However, current literature lacks an in-depth evaluation of cannabis for medicinal use and more studies should be done to explore its use as medicine. Furthermore, marijuana may reduce immune system function which could decrease infection resistance in those with health or age-related vulnerabilities.
The FDA has approved two forms of medicinal cannabis: cannabidiol (Epidiolex) and dronabinol (Marinol and Syndros). Both drugs are intended to treat specific forms of severe epilepsy; taken orally and with less side effects than traditional medications, they have also shown promise in alleviating pain, nausea and loss of appetite for those living with cancer or AIDS.
Recreational Marijuana
Law allows New Yorkers aged 21 or over to possess up to three ounces of marijuana or 24 grams of cannabis concentrate for recreational use, or store up to five pounds at home. Individuals should keep these products out of reach of children; violations will lead to penalties being assess.
