The medicinal potential of cannabis has attracted various researchers and companies to use cannabis in medical applications. For instance, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is predominantly being used for producing medicinal products. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved THC-based medicinal products such as nabilone (Cesamet) and dronabinol (Marinol) that are prescribed for the treatment of nausea in patients receiving chemotherapy; these drugs are also prescribed to stimulate appetite in patients with wasting syndrome developed as one of the indications in AIDS.

Similarly, various marijuana-based products have been approved or are in clinical trials. For instance, nabiximols (Sativex) is an approved drug that has been commercialized in Canada, and the UK and a few European countries. Nabiximols is a cannabis extract used to treat spasticity and neuropathic pain related to multiple sclerosis. It is formulated with a combination of THC and other cannabidiol (CBD). In February 2020, CanaQuest Medical Corp, a Canadian company, applied for the approval of the production and commercialization of Mentabinol to Health Canada. Mentabinol is a THC-based product, and its approval application has been filed under the Cannabis Act.
