In a randomized trial using actual AIDS patients, THC, a component of cannabis, was shown to significantly increase appetite and decrease nausea, as compared to the effects of taking placebos. While unwanted effects were usually moderate to mild, the trials showed that patients' moods improved, as well as their weight. These results made the case for the use of cannabis as an HIV/AIDS treatment, as determined by the American Institute of Medicine.
Several different organizations, including the U.K House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, the Australian National Task Force on Cannabis, and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) have reviewed the use of cannabis for AIDS treatment.
