How does the use of cannabinoids intersect with issues of social justice and equity in healthcare? The use of cannabinoids intersects with issues of social justice and equity in healthcare by highlighting disparities in access, treatment availability, and societal stigma. Marginalized communities often face barriers to accessing cannabinoid therapies due to socioeconomic factors, legal restrictions, and healthcare disparities. Furthermore, historical injustices related to drug policies have disproportionately affected certain populations, contributing to ongoing stigmatization of cannabis use. Advocating for equitable access to cannabinoid therapies and addressing the social determinants of health is essential to promote justice and equity in healthcare. Ensuring that all individuals can benefit from cannabinoid treatments is a critical aspect of addressing systemic inequities (Mason et al., 2020).
