POT MIGHT EASE MS WOES: STUDY
EXETER, ENGLAND -- Cannabis-based treatments may have longer-term
benefits for MS patients, scientists said yesterday.
The findings of a short, 15-week trial of MS patients published last
year were inconclusive because although patients reported relief in
muscle stiffness, rigidity and mobility, the findings could not be
confirmed by physiotherapists.
Cannabis contains about 60 different cannabinoids. The most active is
thought to be THC.
