This week, Science for the People is taking a closer look at the medical marijuana controversy. How effective is medical marijuana and for what conditions is it a suitable treatment? In our attempt to separate evidence from anecdote we’re joined by a panel of three: Dr. David Casarett, a palliative care physician and author of the book Stoned: A Doctor’s Case for Medical Marijuana; Dr. Robert Wolff, a systematic reviewer for Kleijnen Systematic Reviews and coauthor of a recent systematic review to assess benefits and harms of cannabis for medical use; and Dr. Marcel Bonn-Miller, assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, who has dedicated his career to understanding the relationship between cannabis use and PTSD.
Science for the People is now part of the Skepchick Network.
Don’t forget to support the Science for the People on Patreon to keep the sciencey goodness flowing toward your ear holes.
