Medicinal cannabis is a medicine that comes from the cannabis plant (also called marijuana). Medicinal cannabis can relieve the symptoms of some medical conditions.

The cannabis plant contains 80 to 100 cannabinoids. Two of these cannabinoids are:

• tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
• cannabidiol (CBD)

Most medicinal cannabis products contain THC and/or CBD.

THC is also the chemical that gets people high. CBD has no intoxicating effects and can treat a wide range of symptoms.

International research is looking at the benefits of some of the other cannabinoids.
