I felt the information was constantly defending cannabis. Generally it is true the lack of studies make it difficult to provide good information on use of it and I found the information to be helpful in realizing all the systems cannabis affects, but to me that means it can have a lot of unexpected effects,NOT that is is effective in treating all these systemic issues.
Charles B. –
Overall excellent. I would suggest that the graphics be enlarged so that they are more readable.

I really appreciate this information being put together in such a comprehensive manner. Very well written and easy to follow and “digest”. I would love more information (in depth) with regard to drug interactions to be more aware of or information to offer patients when they inquire about certain meds they take and what to expect with their medical cannabis use. I believe Chris N. has given me some other references to consider. Many thanks, Betsy

Fantastic, more discussion on subtle therapeutic differences between different strains (indica v. sativa) and strains with different cannabinoid concentrations (THC, CBD) would also be valuable.
