Summary:Abstract The Medical Cannabis Library (MCL) is a curated database designed to simplify the search for cannabis-related therapeutic research. Addressing the challenge of navigating vast and mixed-quality literature, the MCL consolidates over 11,000 relevant publications from Pubmed, focusing on cannabinoids as therapeutic agents. It features an advanced search interface allowing users to find information by diseases, conditions, symptoms, syndromes, and cannabinoids. The database also categorizes the relationship between cannabinoids and medical conditions as positive, negative, or neutral using natural language processing. This tool streamlines access to cannabis research, aiding professionals in understanding its therapeutic potential across various clinical indications. The MCL represents a significant advancement in organizing and accessing scientific knowledge in the field of medical cannabis.
