Abstract:
Cannabis sativa L. has been used for thousands of years in various cultural, medical, and industrial settings. This review brings together evidence from historical records, plant chemical studies, clinical trials, and laws to explain the chemical properties, healing potential, and regulatory environment of cannabis and its components. We look at over 500 identified compounds, including cannabinoids (CBs), terpenes, flavonoids, and alkaloids, along with their effects on health. The therapeutic areas covered include chronic pain, epilepsy, cancer, mental health issues, and inflammation. We also address side effects, interactions with other drugs, and approved CB-based medications. Despite the various healing effects, gaps still exist in our understanding of the best dosing, long-term safety, and standardized product formulations. This review highlights current research directions and emphasizes the need for thorough randomized controlled trials to support the evidence-based use of cannabis in modern medicine.
