Treating Glaucoma with Smoked Marijuana:
"In the case of smoked marijuana or Marinol, it's quite clear that it does lower intraocular pressure, often substantially. ... So I don't think there's any doubt about its effectiveness, at least in some people with glaucoma." ( Paul Palmberg, M.D., Ph.D.)
Treating Muscle Spasticity Disorders with Smoked Marijuana:
"In looking at the literature and listening to the discussion yesterday, I came to the conclusion that smoked marijuana does have an effect on spasticity." (Kenneth Johnson, M.D.)
Treating Epilepsy:
"[A]t least in experimental epilepsy systems, the cannabinoids seem to be quite effective for some kinds of epileptic conditions." ( Kenneth Johnson, M.D.)
Treating Pain:
"And so I think there's probably little doubt that inherently there is an analgesic effect that can be mediated through the cannabinoid receptor." ( probably William T. Beaver, M.D., but transcript is not clear)
