Link Between Medical Marijuana and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Dosage needs to be understood
Another aspect of the use of marijuana for treatment that is lacking in data is the dosage. Without knowing the specific amount that should be taken, and in what form, doctors cannot feel comfortable or certain in suggesting it to their patients. In addition, marijuana is unregulated, which means that the actual amount of marijuana entering the patient's system when taken is impossible to know. Potentially the most alarming unknown? Kumar says, "We don't know what else is in it." Far more certainty in regard to these questions will be needed before any consensus can be made among medical professionals.
