(MNN)-A new Minnesota study finds that medical cannabis can improve the quality of sleep for people with obstructive sleep apnea. Jim Walker of the Office of Cannabis Management says they analyzed the data of 3,100 patients from August 2018 through July of 2023.
“About 40 percent of the people who chose to treat their obstructive sleep apnea with cannabis showed considerable mitigation of their symptoms and were able to hold that off for about four months,” says Walker.
Walker says numbers show meaningful changes in disturbed sleep and fatigue for patients after starting medical cannabis.
