Now dont get me wrong as if am trying to support the use or consumption of illicit drugs but i found an article about cannabis recently and i feel it is a good one so i decided to write about it here,the report of the article says "Cannabis has been proven to help patients who suffer from cancer, sclerosis and AIDS. The Spanish region of Catalonia announced on Thursday that it has approved an oral cannabis spray for those patients."Cannabis is made into a drug called "sativex" is an oral spray.do you think this is a milestone in medicalhistory especially for AIDS and other related diseases?

Hi Byola
anything that helps someone in pain usually has to be prescribed which is sad, because 9 times out of 10 they don't have the money for it..the more decent thing to do is allow them to take care of themselves with their own choice of plant and keep the Gov. out of it.
However compassion isn't on the top of there list..cause you don't make money off of it.

well,rosekity,you may have a good idea there and honestly i do feel sympathy at the statistics 9/10 who cant afford the prescription,it appalling but if we asked them to do it on their own these things needed to be taken in specifixc quantity and addiction arises as a result of over indulgence(if am right)now dont you think that it may even result in a worse situation where people simply go get the plants and i believe these plants even are more potent in their natural state

It has been known for a number of years that multiple sclerosis sufferers can get good quality relief by using cannabis. Unfortunately it's use is still technically illegal here in the UK although some patients are able to obtain cannabis-based medication in some places. Cannabis, when used properly, can be a wonderful and natural form of pain relief.

yes that is true and some people have licenses here in canada to use cannabis for medicinal purposes. There are even cannabis tree farms that the government either grows or supports tree growers to grow for medicinal purposes.
