Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by a selective loss of motor neurons from the spinal cord, brainstem and motor cortex. With a prevalence of about 5.5–9.9 per 100,000 persons, ALS is the most common form of motor neuron disease (MND). Although the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of this condition are not yet fully understood, it is believed that excitotoxicity, inflammation and oxidative stress play an important role in selective motor neuron death. Despite intensive research, up to this point no cure for ALS has been identified. There is increasing evidence that cannabinoids, due to their anti-glutamatergic and anti-inflammatory actions, may show neuroprotective effects in ALS patients and slow the progression of the disease. Furthermore, cannabis-based medicine may be useful in managing symptoms like pain, spasticity or weight loss. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the current state of research regarding the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis in the treatment of ALS.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
