Spray alternative to pot on the market in Canada

[deadparrot]

Canadians now have access to a legal spray alternative to medical marijuana.

Beginning this week, multiple sclerosis patients with constant tingling pain can get a doctor's prescription for a new drug, Sativex, derived from the marijuana plant.

The under-the-tongue spray, approved only in Canada, is one of several emerging alternatives to smoking pot for medical relief. The new pharmaceuticals, some of which may not enter the U.S. market for years, may alter the public debate about medical marijuana.

"People ... who don't want to break the law" will use the spray, says Dr. Lester Grinspoon, professor emeritus at Harvard University and an advocate for legalizing pot use. "They're elevating the debate on medical marijuana."

3. So the moral of the story is ...

medical marijuana is fine ... just as long as a pharmaceutical company is making a profit from it. :eyes:
