Hemp is a plant known and used for millennia for various ailments. It held an important place in folk and shamanic medicines as well as in early pharmacopeias. By the end of the 19th century, tinctures and medical extracts were available in most pharmacies. Hemp was then criminalized and removed from the list of medicines. Today, we are witnessing the return of hemp-based medicines and a gradual restoration of this plant’s role in medicine. An integral part of incorporating hemp into the list of medicines is scientific research: cohort, epidemiological, interventional, or less commonly, clinical studies. Many of these are conducted on animal models or in vitro \u2013 that is, under laboratory conditions outside a living organism. Scientists around the world are trying to uncover the exact mechanisms by which hemp affects various health problems. For many years, new research findings have been announced practically every month.<\/p>\n
