**3. Closing Remarks**

*Cannabis* is a complicated plant that produces over 100 cannabinoids in addition to terpenes and flavonoids. Adding to the complexity of trying to address the mechanism of action for cannabis is the fact that the cannabinoids that have been studied have been reported to exhibit activity at a number of different receptors. This makes cannabinoids (and cannabis) a promiscuous drug. While typically viewed as a negative, promiscuous drugs do offer some advantages, most notably the ability to target different pathways of a disease with one medication [24]. The field of medical cannabis is growing rapidly, and as patients continue to use this plant to treat their conditions, there will remain a growing need for the scientific and medical communities to better understand how cannabis can impact the body. Not only is research needed to address the potential benefit and hazards of cannabis and individual cannabinoids, but also we must determine which routes of administration are best for each condition.
