Medical marijuana is not a hoax; numerous studies have shown that it can effectively relieve certain types of pain, particularly neuropathic pain and pain associated with conditions like multiple sclerosis and cancer. The cannabinoids in marijuana interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in pain modulation. However, its effectiveness can vary from person to person, and more research is needed to fully understand its benefits and risks.
