Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids: A Comprehensive Guide
Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant. They interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the human body, which plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and regulating essential functions such as mood, sleep, and immune response.
Key Cannabinoids and Their Functions
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Known for its psychoactive effects, THC helps manage pain, nausea, and appetite loss.
- CBD (Cannabidiol): A non-psychoactive compound, CBD is recognised for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
- CBG (Cannabigerol): Often referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG has potential neuroprotective and antibacterial effects.
What Is Medical Cannabis?
Medical cannabis refers to cannabis products prescribed for therapeutic purposes. Available in forms such as oils, capsules, tinctures, and sprays, these products are meticulously regulated to ensure safety and efficacy.
How Does Medical Cannabis Work?
The ECS comprises two main receptors:
- CB1 receptors: Found in the brain and central nervous system, these interact with THC to regulate mood and pain.
- CB2 receptors: Located in the immune system, these work with CBD to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Applications of Medical Cannabis
Medical cannabis is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic Pain: Common in arthritis and fibromyalgia patients.
Example: A study in The Lancet reported a 30% reduction in pain severity in patients using cannabis-based products. - Epilepsy: CBD-based treatments like Epidiolex significantly reduce seizure frequency.
- Anxiety and Depression: CBD offers relief without the psychoactive effects of THC.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Helps reduce muscle spasticity and improve mobility.
Safety and Regulation in Australia
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) oversees the legal use of medical cannabis in Australia. All products must meet strict safety and quality standards to ensure patient wellbeing.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, and fatigue.
- Patient Access: Available under the Special Access Scheme (SAS) or via Authorised Prescribers.
