Infobox[edit]

@Zefr I noticed you removed the medical infobox. I included it because it is a prescribed drug in many countries, as opposed to an alternative medicine (note that in Australia, alternative medicines are classified as complementary medicines, whereas medicinal cannabis is approved by the TGA, note that this varies in other countries). If you don't want to include the medical infobox, which infobox should be included? Thiscouldbeauser (talk) 03:30, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was no useful information in the infobox and the image was a generic picture not representative of anything medicinal. Zefr (talk) 15:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is there anything that would need to be added? Thiscouldbeauser (talk) 09:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs positive information[edit]

The whole Medical uses section is just full of Low quality evidence to no evidence uses. Anyone that knows anything about cannabis knows there's high quality research that exist too. This article completely lacks it. Even some conflicting research can be found easily. I think we need to do a much better job relaying accurate information here.

Perhaps better to say "Article needs accurate information," which it does have based on WP:MEDRS -quality reviews and the existing regulatory status for medical uses. See the first two paragraphs of MEDRS here.
The existing article represents what is available for sources, according to the definitions: "review articles (especially systematic reviews) published in reputable medical journals; academic and professional books written by experts in the relevant fields and from respected publishers; and guidelines or position statements from national or international expert bodies."
