Abstract

The article discusses research which investigated the administration of oral cannabis extracts to pediatric patients in palliative care. Topics explored include the selection of patients with life-limiting or terminal illnesses that would receive medical cannabinoids, the observed improvement in the symptoms reported such as pain and nausea, and the importance of compliance to medical guidance to prevent cases of cannabis overdoses.
