Global Medical Cannabis Market Boosted by Therapeutic Advantages The global medical cannabis market has been witnessing a robust growth over the past few years. This can be accredited to the aging population, mounting investments in R&D activities and an increase in the number of countries which are legalising the use of cannabis for medical purposes.

According to the recent report by IMARC Group, titled “Medical Cannabis Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, the global medical cannabis market reached a value of more than US$ 11 Billion in 2017. Medical cannabis is currently in an introductory phase in the pharmaceutical industry and is gradually gaining acceptance across the globe. It is prescribed by doctors in the form of smoke, vapour and liquid extracts so as to alleviate the symptoms of various conditions or diseases like depression, migraine, chronic pain, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, nerve damage, anxiety, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, PTSD, etc. In comparison with the recreational cannabis, medical cannabis has a higher amount of Cannabidiol (CBD) and lower count of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which helps in retaining antipsychotic effects and providing therapeutic advantages to patients.
