In light of the upcoming legalization of marijuana in this country, could the authors please comment on the use of marijuana and its pharmacological derivatives in the treatment of OSA? The recent PACE trial (1) looks promising.
Also, could the authors comment on the use of modafinil, as this medication is available for prescription by primary care practitioners to OSA patients complaining of excessive daytime sedation.
Thank you.
