Abstract

There has been growing interest in developing therapeutic agents and other consumer products derived from cannabis and its components. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved cannabis as a safe and effective drug for any indication. With the progressive state legalization of cannabis for medical use, healthcare providers and consumers must understand what is known about the safety and efficacy linked to cannabis.
