A: In many cases, yes. Several studies have demonstrated patients successfully substituting cannabis for other prescriptions, including opioids, benzodiazepines and antidepressants.

Since cannabis may treat several symptoms at once, it has the potential to reduce adverse drug interactions by reducing the number of overall prescriptions. In a study with seniors in Israel, researchers found that over 18% had stopped taking opioid analgesics or reduced their dose after six months.
