In the wonderful world of medicine, where pills are sometimes more colorful than candy and syringes look like children's toys (if only they were that fun), a new star is taking the stage: medical cannabis. Whether you are a patient seeking relief, a curious healthcare professional or simply a citizen intrigued by legislative developments, this text promises to be as informative as a medical manual - but with much more humor. So get ready to discover how this controversial plant could revolutionize the French pharmacopoeia.
Medical cannabis
Ah, the medical cannabis ! It's a bit like the pharmaceutical industry's stepmother: you never really know how to deal with it. But a 2019 Journal of Pain Research study showed that this little green wonder can be effective in treating chronic pain.
- So imagine yourself, lying on your couch, rolling a... therapeutic joint.
- Or better yet, imagine yourself explaining to your friends that you're taking cannabis for medical reasons and not because you're a Doors fan.
- And why not consider a little getaway to our Dutch neighbors to pick up your “medicine”?
- Without forgetting of course patients with fibromyalgia who can use the cbd
Pathologies treated by cannabis
Cannabis, an ally against neurodegenerative diseases
In the world of failed neurons and striking synapses, medical cannabis presents itself as an unexpected solution. Neurodegenerative diseases tremble at the idea of crossing his path. Parkinson's and Alzheimer's have already started to pack their bags.
From chronic pain to inflammation: the revenge of medical cannabis
Chronic and inflammatory pain are also in the crosshairs of medical cannabis . They thought they could reign supreme over our bodies, without counting on our plant friend! THE CBD in particular is known for its soothing effects on muscle and joint pain . A natural remedy that has more than one trick up its sleeve... or rather in its leaf!
Legislation of therapeutic cannabis in France
Ah, France! Land of wine, baguettes and... medical cannabis? Not quite. The French government has long considered this plant a social pariah.
However, in 2020 a glimmer of hope appeared for patients suffering from chronic illnesses: an experiment on therapeutic use cannabis was launched. The latter concerns around 3,000 patients suffering from severe pathologies resistant to available treatments.
Of course, it's not yet the Wild West here: each prescription must be validated by a scientific committee composed of highly qualified experts who are probably more afraid of plants than my grandmother when she sees a spider in her garden.
If you dream of a France where medical cannabis would be as common as croissants for breakfast... we'll have to wait a little longer!
Effectiveness and limitations of cannabis treatment
Does the idea of smoking a joint to relieve chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting seem far-fetched to you? Well, think again! According to a scientific study published by Le Figaro in 2018, medical cannabis can be effective in this context.
- It helps reduce the unwanted side effects of chemotherapy.
- It offers a natural alternative to traditional medications.
- Its anti-inflammatory properties can have a positive impact on the body.
- And above all, it doesn't get you high like Bob Marley!
So yes, cannabis treatment has its limits. It is not suitable for all pathologies and all patients. But who knows? Maybe one day we will prescribe joints like we prescribe antibiotics today... Oh no, sorry! It was just a joke to lighten the mood.
Future outlook for CBD in France
A regulated future for CBD
It seems that France, always at the forefront of innovation (or not), is seriously considering implementing regulations on the consumption of CBD. Yes, you read correctly ! The country that gave us stinky cheese and baguettes may soon be known for its progressive medical cannabis legislation. A big step forward to improve the concentration and memory thanks to the benefits of CBD .
Current trends: everyone is crazy about CBD!
While waiting for this famous regulation, the French seem to have already massively adopted CBD-based products. From coffee to lip balm, everything is an excuse to add a bit of this little green miracle. We can say that it is a real green revolution... or rather cannabis!
