However, with mounting evidence for its medicinal benefit and potential effective therapeutic use, there\u00a0have been increasing calls for its decriminalisation and legalisation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a matter of fact, modern research suggests that cannabis is a valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of clinical applications. These include pain relief \u2014 particularly neuropathic pain \u2014 nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The documented use of cannabis as a safe and effective therapeutic botanical dates back to 2700 BC.\u00a0The cannabis plant has been around for centuries. It is believed to have originated in Central Asia, but has expanded its reach to the whole world\u00a0over time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chronic Pain is one of the most common ailments for which doctors prescribe medical marijuana.\u00a0Of those taking the treatment, nearly 90% say it greatly or moderately relieves their pain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Medicinal cannabis is already legal in Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden and the US. Many physicians support legalising medicinal marijuana.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, it&#8217;s Denmark&#8217;s turn, where authorisation has been given for the beginning of a new trial on therapeutic use of marijuana. The Scandinavian country&#8217;s government has announced as from the beginning of 2018, physicians will be enabled to prescribe medicinal cannabis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The trial period will last four years, and will evaluate the benefits of treatment with cannabis on a selected group of patients suffering from\u00a0multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, spinal cord injury as well as patients undergoing chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Danish Health Ministry has declared that at the end of the trial period you it will be decided\u00a0whether to make this decision permanent for certain subsets of patients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However it goes, this is an unprecedented initiative that radically deviates from Denmark&#8217;s\u00a0traditional hard line towards cannabis, both for recreational and therapeutic use.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"portfolio-sep\"><\/div>\n<section class=\"related-posts single-related-posts\">\n<div class=\"fusion-title fusion-title-size-two sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:31px;\">\n<h2 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRelated Projects\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-sep-container\">\n<div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"awb-carousel awb-swiper awb-swiper-carousel fusion-carousel-title-below-image\" data-imagesize=\"fixed\" data-metacontent=\"yes\" data-autoplay=\"no\" data-touchscroll=\"no\" data-columns=\"5\" data-itemmargin=\"44px\" data-itemwidth=\"180\" data-scrollitems=\"\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\" style=\"max-width: 336.8px;\">\n<div class=\"fusion-carousel-item-wrapper\">\n<div  class=\"fusion-image-wrapper fusion-image-size-fixed\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medelit.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/pexels-thepaintedsquare-992816-1-500x383.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.medelit.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/pexels-thepaintedsquare-992816-1-500x383.webp 1x, https:\/\/www.medelit.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/pexels-thepaintedsquare-992816-1-500x383@2x.webp 2x\" width=\"500\" height=\"383\" alt=\"Best Foods for Faster Wound Healing: Scientific Insights and Diet Tips\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-rollover\">\n<div class=\"fusion-rollover-content\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"fusion-rollover-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medelit.com\/uk\/portfolio-items\/best-foods-for-wound-healing\/\">Best Foods for Faster Wound Healing: Scientific Insights and Diet Tips<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-rollover-sep\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"fusion-rollover-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medelit.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/pexels-thepaintedsquare-992816-1.webp\" data-options=\"\" data-id=\"8318\" data-rel=\"iLightbox&lt;div id=&#039;gallery-1&#039;
