Cannabis drug to treat cancer patients

18/05/2008 9:20:00 AM.  | Victoria Owens
It is hoped the federal government will approve the trial of a cannabis-based drug to help people suffering from cancer, multiple-sclerosis and AIDS.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration will be asked to allow the importation of the UK drug Sativex, which delivers cannabis compounds through an oral spray.

New South Wales Justice Minister John Hatzistergos says while the state government does not support the legalisation of marijuana, it backs medical trials.

"For any person who has a loved one or a friend who is suffering from serious injury or death the potential to be able to relieve the pain through the use of products such as this would certainly be welcome."

I think the medicinal quality overstated. I'm sure it works, but the application is too enthusiastically spruiked by some.

Only two comments on this blog so far, and only one is on topic GB. Why do you try so hard? Just relax, stop thinking about yourself for a moment. Read the article provided for you and comment on that. It isn't too hard. Really.

Balls, if you resisted the temptation to comment on ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, then perhaps myself and others would treat your input with some respect. Get it? Be selective, go for quality NOT QUANTITY (unless you are trying to break some record)
