Scientists Reviewed 40000 Studies On Weed And Revealed How Marijuana Could Help You




Marijuana research has exploded in recent years despite barriers caused by prohibition. The article, published on Monday in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, reviewed every published paper on marijuana between 1970 and 2017, identified 7,447 publications and studied each in detail. Of those papers, 6,933 were related to health and medicine. At the same time, the remaining 414 were used by scientists as reference guides for other research projects or simply covered topics like history or culture surrounding marijuana use.

The article, written by researchers at the University of California San Diego, reviewed every published paper on marijuana between 1970 and 2017. They identified a total of 7,447 publications and reviewed each one in detail.

The researchers then categorized the papers into three groups: those that looked at the effect of marijuana on humans, those that looked at the impact of marijuana on animals (including mice, rats, and dogs), and those that examined how cannabis plants interact with other plants or humans.


Conclusion


The researchers found that cannabis studies have steadily increased over the past 47 years. In 2017 alone, there were over 1,000 published papers on marijuana, which is more than double what there were in 2012. The most popular topics of study include cannabinoids and their potential medicinal effects, as well as the link between marijuana use and mental health disorders like schizophrenia or depression.
