"While enthusiasm for medical marijuana is very strong among some people, good-quality research has not caught up," Mike Allan, director of evidence-based medicine at the University of Alberta who led the guideline project, said in a release.

The study, published in the online version of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, indicated that 968,000 Canadians reduced their spending on basic necessities to pay for medication—with 730,000 cutting their food bills and another 238,000 skimping on heating.
