There's PTSD, of course. I see a lot of veterans, and they refer their veteran friends to me, but 93% of the 88,000 or so patients who now have medical cannabis cards in Colorado use it for pain. One reason is that we don't have very good treatments for pain, and many of them are fraught with danger, as is the case with opioids. I've seen significant improvement in pain.
Muscle spasms are also one of the approved conditions. Interestingly, it's not an approved condition in Colorado, although it is in other states. The U.S. has a mishmash of different approved conditions. In the case of autism, there's a study from Israel that shows that cannabis is effective in assisting autistic children, some profoundly autistic. I have seen a few patients with autism who have responded extraordinarily well.
Seizure disorders are particularly responsive to cannabis. It's most interesting that Epidiolex, the most recently approved single-compound CBD drug for the treatment of seizures in Dravet syndrome specifically, was effective in fewer than about 43% of the patients and did nothing at all for nonconvulsive seizures, and yet it was approved as a pharmaceutical prescription drug in the U.S. when its efficacy is not particularly good. Whole-plant cannabis is much more effective for treatment of seizures.
