In 1985, pharmaceutical companies received approval to begin developing 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) preparations of dronabinol and nabilone for therapeutic use, and as a result, cannabinoids were reintroduced into the Bill of willing health care providers.
Efforts are now being put into the trials of cannabidiol as a treatment for conditions such as epilepsy schizophrenia, and chronic pain. although no such preparations have come to market at this time. Some companies have sprays of a whole cannabis plant extract with a 1:1 ratio of THC to cannabidiol (CBD), which was initially licensed to specific vendors in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Canada for the treatment of pain and spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis, but it continues to undergo evaluation in Phase III clinical trials in the United States.
Efforts are underway to develop targeted pharmaceuticals that are agonists or antagonists of the cannabinoid receptors or that modulate the production and degradation of the endocannabinoids, although such interventions have not yet demonstrated safety or effectiveness. Nonetheless, therapeutic agents targeting cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoids are expected to become available in the future.
