25. Sativex is a cannabis tincture legal in Canada
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 08:55 PM by firefox
Sativex is an extract of cannabis in an alcohol solution that is made by G W Pharmaceuticals in England. It is legal in Canada and was approved for one condition associated with MS. This is the GW Pharma website- http://www.gwpharm.com/ There was a woman from Ireland with MS that died last year that started thc4MS where they distributed cannabis chocolate- http://www.thc4ms.org/

My sister has MS and I am more than furious with the prohibition that has blocked all the research on cannabis for all this time employing the Schedule 1 classification which is an outright lie.

What is sad is that THC, even if it were some deadly poison, might not be needed to benefit some illnesses. It is Dr. Russo from Montana and researcher with GW Pharm that theorizes that migraines might be caused of cannabinoid deficiency. Pot is supposed to work miracles on migraines, but I have not read research concerning effectiveness without THC.

Natural cannabinoids present in the brain are called anandamides which derives from the Greek word for "bliss".

The sadest part of prohibiting medical cannabis, including research using the Schedule One Lie, is that cannabis should have never been made illegal in the first place.
