The increase in medical usage of marijuana coupled with the trend toward decriminalization of medical and recreational use could create the impression that the drug has well understood effects and benefits. In fact, scientific research on the topic is still at a very early stage. This presentation will provide an introduction to marijuana and its effects on the human body. In addition, we will share current clinical evidence for the use of medical marijuana, discuss the shifting attitudes towards recreational marijuana, and outline possible implications for the insurance industry.
