Navigating the "High" Risks and "High" Rewards of Cannabis Legalization in Medicine

By IGI Global Scientific Publishing on May 9, 2024
0 Despite the increasing acceptance and legalization of cannabis for medical and the legalization of recreational marijuana across several states in the US, there is still a significant difference in the way cannabis-related offenses are treated at the federal level. The Biden administration's stance on cannabis policy, specifically its classification as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, creates a rift between state and federal laws. This inconsistency leads to unfair penalties, preventing researchers from exploring the medicinal potential through pharmaceutical trials.

To resolve the issue, a significant overhaul of federal cannabis laws is necessary to match the changing landscape of cannabis legalization at the state level. The Associated Press reports that the Biden administration could consider reclassifying cannabis to a less restrictive category under the Controlled Substances Act, acknowledging its potential medical benefits and the changing attitudes toward its use. Additionally, federal legislation could be introduced to decriminalize marijuana possession and expunge prior cannabis-related convictions. This would reduce the burden on the criminal justice system and promote a more equitable approach to cannabis regulation across the country.

A recent book, Medical Cannabis and the Effects of Cannabinoids on Fighting Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Parkinson's, and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases (ISBN: 9781668456521), presents the findings from clinical and basic medical scientists who are studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cannabinoid-mediated inhibition of innate and adaptive immune responses. It also looks at the mobilization of myeloid-derived immunosuppressive cells, enhancement of neuroprotection, facilitation of oligodendrocyte survival, promotion of CNS progenitor cell differentiation to support regeneration and remyelination, arrest of tumor cell proliferation, decrease in tumor cell adhesion, disruption of tumor angiogenesis, inhibition of endothelial cells, and prevention of cancer metastasis by inhibition of cell migration. The book provides the necessary knowledge to educate people on the uses and effectiveness of alternative medicine.
