<p>Encouraging results from Harvard medical school in collaboration with McGill hospital have emerged from MIND’s investigation, a longitudinal observational study of individuals using medical cannabis for various conditions and symptoms.</p>
<p>The team conducts multiple assessments before participants, who choose their own products, start treatment. Further testing happens at three, six, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months after their treatment begins.

Patients in this pioneering study have also reported improved mood, energy, and sleep, and reduced use of conventional medications.</p>
