BELGIUM BACKS CANNABIS USE
BELGIUM has approved the trial use of cannabis for selected medical
purposes, according to a decree published yesterday.
It will be legal for treating nausea caused by chemotheraphy and
radiotherapy; glaucoma; pains and muscle spasms linked to multiple
sclerosis; Aids symptoms, and chronic pain.
But it can be administered only in hospitals as part of approved research.
