HILL: Cannabis is different than alcohol, because with alcohol, you can use once a week, three times a week, and it can be a problem.

Cannabis is a little different in the sense that the people who run into trouble are using it pretty much every day, multiple times a day for the most part. HILL: They are.
The onset — what will bring you into my office — is different. People who are using cannabis are not going to knock off a CVS to fuel their habit. But when you talk to them, other details are often the same. One unique thing about cannabis is that on the same day, I may have somebody who is 26, smoking four times a day, graduated from a local elite university, and not making it like they want to be making it.

Last year they added cannabidiol — only one version is FDA-approved — and it is for a couple of pediatric epilepsy conditions. Beyond the FDA-approved indications, the best evidence is for three things: chronic pain, neuropathic pain — which is a burning sensation in your nerves — and muscle spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. There are more than six randomized control trials for each of those three conditions.
