BRING BACK CANNABIS
Unfortunately, Matt Mernagh is incorrect about at least one fact (NOW,
November 11-17). Sativex is not synthetic but grown in GW
Pharmaceuticals' green houses under stringently controlled conditions.
Sativex is herbal. Cannabis was illegitimately removed from the U.S.
pharmacopeia in 1940. Neither cannabis nor human physiology has
changed since then. If Canadian authorities had any common sense, they
would simply restore cannabis to the formulary.
