Trials Show Cannabis does Help MS Symptoms

Clinical trials being run by GW Pharmaceuticals on the benefits of

cannabis are producing results of enough significance to make the

legalisation of medical cannabis a much more likely prospect.

Tests on 70 British patients showed that an extract of the plant

sprayed under the tongue significantly reduced pain, muscle spasms

and bladder problems.

In the phase two clinical trials patients have been given sprays

containing cannabis or a placebo. The drug was sprayed under the

tongues of participants so that it was absorbed into the bloodstream

rather than swallowed or inhaled.

Dr Geoffrey Guy, chairman of GW Pharmaceuticals, said that he hoped

cannabis would be prescribed legally by 2003. " Patients are clearly

gaining benefit, " he said. " These results provide enough confidence

for us to increase the number of trial centres and the number of

patients taking part. We are seeing a significant improvement in the

quality of life for sufferers. "
