    The effect of cannabis on appetite
    In a large group of patients with appetite disorders, cannabinoids have proven to be effective. Especially in the case of anorexia and catastrophic weight loss in AIDS patients.

    Epilepsy
    This is one of the relatively new fields of application of cannabidiol, especially in children with severe forms of epilepsy (20-30 seizures per day). Such children are very difficult to treat, this form is resistant, difficult to treat. Evidence from several studies suggests that cannabidiol appears to be the most effective treatment in this regard so far. It does not give 100% efficiency, but so far there is nothing better.

    social phobia
    Another interesting area of ​​application is the use in patients with social phobia. There is a special simulator: the patient is seated in front of a screen and a public speaking is imitated - something that causes great fear in such people. According to research, cannabidiol is quite effective in treating social phobia. It is very difficult to treat, and many doctors know how disabling this condition can be. I had a patient - a brilliant violinist who failed due to social phobia. It was a disaster for him to go on stage and play, but at home - please. Unfortunately, at that time they did not yet know about cannabidiol.

    PTSD - post-traumatic stress disorder
    There are several studies that show that in patients with PTSD, the use of cannabis products leads to a decrease in the intensity of flashbacks (the involuntary revival of traumatic experiences through unusually vivid memories, during which it seems that a terrible reality from the past invades the present life. For example, ATO warriors can hear explosions, try to hide from imaginary bombs, etc.). This cannot yet be called proof, but it is worth further investigation. No negative effects have been observed so far. There is a study under way on the use of (you will be surprised) very low doses of LSD for the treatment of PTSD. In negligible quantities, which show a certain effectiveness.

    Summary: everything we know about the benefits of cannabis (hemp)
    Cannabis products, especially those with a high concentration of cannabidiol, are quite effective in patients with a number of diseases, including very serious ones.

    Cannabis is effective in patients with neuropathic pain, spastic multiple sclerosis, anorexia, and treatment-resistant glaucoma. In patients on chemotherapy, in patients with AIDS (weight loss). With some anxiety conditions, especially social phobia. In children with multiple epileptic seizures. There is evidence that shows the possible effectiveness of cannabinoids in the treatment of schizophrenia.

    The main medicinal effects of cannabis are not due to the concentration of THC, but cannabidiols, which do not have psychoactive properties.

    The anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis require further study.

    Like any medicine, cannabis preparations have side effects. The main ones are interaction with other drugs (interaction) that the patient is taking. Some patients have a change in liver enzymes (we don't fully understand why this happens yet). Others have drowsiness. For anxious patients, this can be a plus.

    I think that high quality cannabis products such as weedbates will pleasantly surprise you with their price and composition.
