According to industry analysts at Grand View Research, the Global Medical Marijuana market is expected to reach $55.8 billion (USD) by the year 2025! Driven by the adoption of medical marijuana laws in countries such as the U.S. (28 states and counting), Canada, Mexico, Israel and Germany, cannabis is gaining acceptance around the world as an effective and safe medicine.

Chronic Pain, Nausea and Epilepsy

Chief among its medical applications is its ability to treat intractable forms of epilepsy (Dravet Syndrome, Lennox Gastaut syndrome, etc.), ameliorate chronic pain without opioids, and as an adjunct to reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy.

Epidiolex, a CBD based drug, is currently completing Phase III FDA trials as an effective treatment for severe epilepsy. Syndros, a anti-nausea cannabinoid synthetic, recently won FDA approval for the treatment of anorexia and nausea associated with AIDS and cancer chemotherapy.
