How Can Medical Cannabis Help to Manage Pain Conditions? – The Cannabis Exchange

Article | February 11, 2020

Pain management is one of the most common reasons for the use of medical cannabis products. However, despite many jurisdictions – including Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands – now allowing the prescription of medical cannabis for this purpose, there remains little ‘high-quality’ evidence to support, or oppose its efficacy. Madden et al. (2018) set out to review the evidence available in order to determine the efficacy of medical cannabis when employed in the management of various forms of musculoskeletal pain. The researchers analysed various studies that assessed the use of cannabinoids in the treatment of arthritis pain; back pain; postoperative pain; and trauma-related pain. It is estimated that up to 30% of the population may suffer from a non-cancer-related pain condition. As such a high percentage of people suffer from these conditions, the development of simple and safe therapies is an essential area of research. This is particularly important as the therapeutic options for people with chronic pain are increasingly limited.

Inside plan to grow marijuana in Uganda

monitor | April 21, 2019

Different entities and individuals are fighting over the control of Uganda’s prospective medicinal cannabis industry, with a section of government officials reportedly fronting a number of companies to cash in on the multi-billion dollar business. Several entities with connections to already established companies in Europe and North America have been lined up by different officials as the government ponders a dive into the lucrative but dicey business. There is also a fight between several entities of government on who should take the lead in directing to the different investors lining up to engage in the lucrative business estimated to be worth $3b (about Shs11.1 trillion) when it commences. Among the entities that would be involved in licensing the entire chain are the ministries of Health, Agriculture, Justice and Constitutional Affairs and Internal Affairs; the National Drug Authority (NDA) and Uganda Investment Authority (UIA). The use of cannabis for recreational purposes such as smoking remains illegal in the country. Authorities are, however, exploring its production for medical purposes subject to authorisation by relevant government bodies in line with the Narcotic Drug and Pyschotropic Substances (Control) Act 2015.

Project aims to revive natural product discovery

eurekalert | April 23, 2019

The mid-20th century was the golden age of natural product discovery. Scientists discovered ground-breaking drugs, like penicillin and tetracycline, from sources in nature. But as the search for natural products continued, pharmaceutical companies kept finding the same products over and over again. By the early 2000s, most of these companies shut down their natural product discovery programs. At the same time, the era of genomics emerged. Instead of looking for natural products, scientists were now able to use genetic information to understand how natural products were made. This brought success in discovering new natural products, but only on a very small scale. Now, a new project aims to discover new natural products on a large scale by using synthetic biology and automation.

Sources said the company got approval earlier this month for generic Clopidogrel, which is used primarily to prevent blood clotting and acts against cardiovascular problems. Hyderabad-based Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL), which is betting big on the Chinese drug market, recently got an approval for a $1.6-billion anti-blood clotting drug from the Chinese regulator after an 11-year wait. Sources said the company got approval earlier this month for generic Clopidogrel, which is used primarily to prevent blood clotting and acts against cardiovascular problems. The launch of the product is still some time away. This would be DRL’s biggest product in China in terms of market potential. The drug is now undergoing generic equivalent assessment (China requires drugmakers to conduct bioequivalence studies).
