Full-spectrum cannabis oil is associated with “favorable perceived quality of life and sleep satisfaction,” according to a new study of medical marijuana patients. Higher concentrations and longer treatments also seemed to produce “higher odds of better outcomes.”
Researchers at State University of Montes Claros conducted a cross-sectional observational survey involving 71 medical patients enrolled in Brazil’s medical marijuana program. Respondents included people who use marijuana for psychological conditions (37 percent), neurological disorders (21 percent) and chronic musculoskeletal pain (11 percent) that can contribute to sleep issues.
The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology, found that the use of cannabis oil with a 3:1 THC-to-CBD ratio was linked to “positive correlations” between the “psychological domains of quality of life and sleep satisfaction.”
About half of patients reported using marijuana-derived preparations with concentrations of 6 percent, followed by 9 percent (20 percent of patients) and 3 percent (14 percent of patients). The participants were monitored by medical professionals throughout the treatment, with laboratory reviews and assessments of “medication concentration adequacy,” for example.
Notably, the researchers determined that higher cannabis oil concentrations and longer treatment durations were associated with “higher odds of better outcomes.”
“In a real-world clinical context, supervised use
