Most stories you are about to read are based on people’s opinions about how medical cannabis has helped them heal a specific illness or medical disorders. Some of the interviewees in this series have chosen alternative names to protect themselves from public judgement, fear of not being treated by medical professionals or risk of unemployment. Their names will be surrounded by asterisks.  I acknowledge that the Food and Drug Administration has not done much in-depth research about the benefits of cannabis use and at this time the FDA has not approved all cannabinoids for medical use. More research needs to be done on cannabis before all of its components can be approved by the FDA but that’s why I started this project in the first place— to educate people about cannabis and promote future research. One of the many takeaways I would like all readers to have from this blog is to consider cannabis as an alternative medicine if the readers see fit. Most interviews were had with interviewees between 2018 and 2019.
