> Its a shame. I'm not asking that doctors have marajuanna dispense to everbody for a particular complaint. I'm just asking that those who have used it and use it regularly for a particular condition, and know how they're going to react, might be able to obtain the substance in a legitamite and safe way.
This article out today gives us an insight into the way European scientists view MJ research:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5217200.stm
"Doctors looking to harness the benefits of cannabis may do better to focus on boosting the body's own pain relief system, scientists suggest.
The human body has its own endocannabinoid system which helps regulate pain, hunger and anxiety.Experts at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies meeting in Vienna said using plant cannabinoids would mean less targeted therapies."
Hmmmmm.
You'll like this though:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4354715.stm
"One in six people who take cannabis for pain relief say ***their doctor advised them to use it***, a survey suggests."
So at least a small proportion of the medical establishment is waking up to the clinical promise of MJ.
