The current research in this area is often lacking however some conditions such as chronic pain show more promising evidence in pain-relief.  
Medicinal Cannabis would not be the first choice of treatment for any condition as other treatments would first be tried before any decision is made.

Medical Conditions Which May Qualify for Medicinal Cannabis

Medicinal Cannabis may be consumed orally through the use of oils and tinctures or through vaporising flower in a small, handheld device.

Oral consumption results in a slower onset but more sustained effect, while vaporizing flowers will take rapid effect with shorter lasting results, but with peak physiological and psychological effects.

As each patient is different, your doctor will tailor the frequency, dose and method of your medicine specifically for your needs using a combination of cannabinoids and terpenes specific to treating your condition.
