Medicinal cannabis are also known as Medical marijuana, which area used either to treat disease or to improve their symptoms. The two cannabinoids - delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) are used in treatment of certain disease or health conditions such as pain, blood pressure, memory, concentration, appetite, sensory stimulus, muscular problems, and seizures. The various economies are involved in the activities to legalize the export of medicinal cannabis product, which in turn is expected to fuel growth of the medical cannabis market. For instance, in January 2018, the Government of Australia allowed cannabis producers in the region to export medicinal cannabis and cannabis products in the global market.

The global medical cannabis market is valued at US$ 3,520.7 million in 2017 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 24.4% over the forecast period (2017 – 2025).

Some of the major factors driving growth of the market include increasing approval of medicinal cannabis products and increasing research and development activities. For instance, in March 2017, a law that allows the use of cannabis plant was signed by the German parliament. This would in turn allow the healthcare professionals to prescribe medicinal cannabis products to the patients suffering from severe health issues such as chronic pain, vomiting, and nausea. However, excessive consumption of cannabis will induce tachycardia, which will in turn increase the risk of heart attack, especially for users who already suffer from heart disease or arrhythmias. This is expected to hinder growth of the market.
