Birgit Kraft, MD Biography
- Title:
- Anesthesiologist in the Department of Special Anesthesia and Pain Therapy at the Medical University of Vienna
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should Marijuana Be a Medical Option?"
- Reasoning:
-
“The surprising result of our study was the absence of any kind of analgesic activity of THC-standardized cannabis extract on experimentally induced pain using well-established human model procedures. Our results also seem to support the impression that high doses of cannabinoids may even cause increased sensitivity in certain pain conditions.”
