Scientists Gathered Follow-Up Data on Medical Cannabis Patients and the Results Are Pretty Striking

Quick Summary:

A recent study published in the journal PLOS One, for example, found that medical cannabis patients in Australia maintained the health improvements they saw in their first three months of taking a prescribed cannabis oil over the course of an entire year.

To build on that work, the authors of this latest study followed up with most of these same patients — 2,353 of the original 2,744 returned — for another twelve months, gauging their progress with questionnaires.

Research on the medical effects of marijuana use have been a mixed bag over the last few years; it doesn't seem to be terrible for you, but it's not without health — or social — concerns, either.
