Cannabis Does a Better Job for Cancer Pain Than Opioids? – New Medical Study Changes Cancer Treatment Thinking

A brand-new assessment focusing on the therapeutic benefits of marijuana for pain caused by cancer confirms this. The study, which was published in the medical journal, Frontiers in Pain Research, was conducted by researchers in Israel. “Traditionally, cancer-related pain is mainly treated by opioid analgesics, but most oncologists perceive opioid treatment as hazardous, so alternative therapies are required,” says David Meiri, the study’s author, and an assistant professor at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology.
