Palm Beach, FL –November 2, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – While cannabis has a long history of medical use as an analgesic (pain reliever) and antispasmodic agent, for much of the modern era there existed a general lack of awareness among scientists and physicians of its medical benefits. The discovery of the potential of the active ingredient, THC, in the 1960s, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, promoted inquiry into the therapeutic potential of cannabis and its extracts and derivatives. This work revealed that cannabis can provide relief from certain types of conditions, such as severe chronic pain, and led to the development of various herbal medical cannabis products. Today, it is being used/researched for Cancer, chronic pain, depression, diabetes, arthritis, glaucoma, epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, PTSD, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s, and Tourette’s are some of the diseases and symptoms for which cannabis is used. Cannabis has been legalized for medical usage in a large number of nations, due to its therapeutic effects. According to a report from Market Research Future, the Medical Cannabis Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 18.4% crossing the value of USD 33,210 Million by 2027. The report said that: “In comparison to other therapy choices, cannabis is safer and has less severe negative effects. It’s also used in conjunction with other medicines, either to improve their efficacy or to mitigate negative side effects. Apart from business leaders, many corporate and government institutions are funding the research and development of cannabinoids for medical applications. Clinical studies, research and development (R&D) operations, and the commercialization of cannabis-based indications are also likely to fuel the medical cannabis market’s advancement. Active companies in the Cannabis market this week include Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: MVMDF) (CSE: MVMD), Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL), Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) (TSX: WEED), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSX: ACB), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) (TSX: TLRY).
Market Research Future continued: “By product type, the Cannabidiol oil segment is likely to dominate the market due to its stress-relieving applications. It can also be used to treat other neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and PTSD. By derivatives, CBD dominates the market, since it is mostly used for medical purposes due to its non-psychoactive properties and low toxicity, whereas THC is used to alleviate the adverse effects of AIDS and cancer treatment. By application, cancer is the most popular category which fuels the market. By route of administration, oral solutions & capsules are the most popular, making up a majority of the revenue. By distributive channel, the retail pharmacy has been gaining the most traction due to 24/7 availability and extended care services. In 2020, North America dominated the global medical cannabis market, with the biggest share. This enormous market share is attributed to the legalization of medical cannabis in 37 US states, as well as the widespread acceptance of products. The market in this region is growing due to the inclusion of significant manufacturers, expanding use of medicinal cannabis products, and an increasing number of enterprises engaged in R&D activities.”
