Medical marijuana, derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, is used to alleviate symptoms caused by certain medical conditions. While it shows promise for conditions like chronic pain, nausea, and muscle spasms, its safety profile remains under scrutiny. Benefits include pain relief, improved appetite, and potential immune-boosting effects. However, risks include increased heart rate, impaired concentration, and potential addiction. The FDA has approved specific cannabinoids for epilepsy and chemotherapy-induced nausea. As research continues, medical marijuana’s role remains complex, balancing relief with potential side effects
