Medicinal Cannabis, or Medical Marijuana,

Medicinal cannabis, or medical marijuana, has evolved from a controversial, misunderstood therapy, to a mainstream treatment option for a growing list of health challenges. As more states legalize marijuana for medical purposes—reducing pain, nausea and inflammation, decreasing anxiety, and aiding sleep, among other symptoms—interest in cannabis therapies has been growing among healthcare professionals.


In a past Sermo poll of 245 global physicians, 70% responded that they are interested in learning more about the power of cannabis medicine.

Despite a growing adoption and legalization movement—in the US alone, 37 states and Washington DC have legalized marijuana treatments—some in the medical field continue to question its efficacy, requesting more research and data before widely recommending treatment. In the same Sermo poll, only 22% of doctors said they have experience recommending cannabis to patients.

We want to hear from you and understand where you fall on the spectrum. Please fill out the poll below to give your thoughts on medical marijuana. We’d also love to hear about your patient cases and any additional thoughts in the comments section.

Iin addition to information about the herb, paraphernalia is a major source of contentment for users.  These include roll your own joints, e-dispensers (akin to e-cigarettes). ceramic pipes, vaporizers, bongs, grinders and other creative tools.
