Important Terms Cannabis – scientific name for the plant from which marijuana is derived.

Hemp – term used to refer to fiber derived from the cannabis plant Medical Marijuana – refers to the cultivation, possession, and/or use of marijuana for medical purposes.

What distinguishes medical marijuana? The difference between marijuana used for recreation and medical marijuana is legal. Medical marijuana:  Must be recommended by a licensed physician to treat a diagnosed medical condition.  Refers not only to use of the plant itself, but also to synthesized versions of the active compounds, cannabinoids. Copyright © 2014 Nancy Marion. All rights reserved.

The two types of marijuana Cannabis refers to the genus. There are two primary species:  Cannabis sativa – tall plants with sparse foliage and slender leaves, used primarily for hemp.  Cannabis indica – A shorter species with higher levels of therapeutic and psychoactive compounds, native to India.

Cannabinoids Over 400 different compounds Different compounds have a variety of effects; some act as appetite stimulants, antispasmodics, antiemetics, analgesics, etc. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinnol, or THC, is the main psychoactive compound Copyright © 2014 Nancy Marion. All rights reserved.

Examples of Cannabinoids Cannabidiol has numerous potential applications:  May relieve convulsions, inflammation, high blood pressure, anxiety, cough, pain, congestion, nausea, and inhibit cancer cell growth.  May help treat schizophrenia and alleviate multiple sclerosis, anxiety attacks, and Tourette Syndrome.  Not a psychoactive, so does not produce the feeling of being “high.” B-caryophyllene reduces inflammation, and has been used to treat glaucoma. It also lacks psychoactive properties. Copyright © 2014 Nancy Marion. All rights reserved.

Synthetic Cannabinoids Sativex  Synthetic THC mouth spray  Used to treat spasticity associated with MS  Launched in the United Kingdom and approved in Spain, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and Austria.  U.S. patent granted in 2001 to treat pain associated with cancer. Copyright © 2014 Nancy Marion. All rights reserved.

Synthetic Cannabinoids dronabinol (Marinol)  Administered as a pill or spray  Used to treat nausea, stimulate appetite, and relieve MS symptoms.  May not be effective for all patients, due to containing only one of the many compounds found in marijuana.  Pill form is slow acting and can be difficult to swallow for those with nausea or vomiting. Copyright © 2014 Nancy Marion. All rights reserved.

Synthetic Cannabinoids Levonantradol  Synthetic THC introduced in the 1970s and discontinued due to side effects. Cesamet (Nabilone)  Used to treat chemotherapy associated nausea and vomiting. Canasol  Used to relieve intraocular pressure from late stage glaucoma. Copyright © 2014 Nancy Marion. All rights reserved.
