Description
Marijuana for medical use is now legal in 29 states, but studying the medical effects of marijuana is challenging. Because marijuana is categorized as a DEA Schedule I drug, researchers have encountered difficulty in conducting Randomized Clinical Trials. But research is expanding in this important field. Librarians have a role in raising awareness among healthcare professionals and researchers. To better understand the landscape of medical marijuana and opiate use, and discover ways for librarians to act as advocates and share high quality information, a literature review will be conducted and results summarized.
