MARIJUANA: (PILL FORM)
A large scale, placebo-controlled clinical trial has began in Great Britain to determine the benefits of a NON-SMOKED extract of MARIJUANA and it's active ingredient TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (THC). The 660 people with different forms of MS will undergo the trial to study the symptomatic results. In 3 to 4 years, results of this study may shed light on whether this substance can help control spasticity.From the Coeur d' Alene Press November 7, 2003
London: A marijuana pill appeared to relieve some of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis in the first scientifially rigorous study of the strongly debated drug.
The research, published this week in The Lancet medical journal, found that even though improvements could not be detected by doctors' tests, a greater proporation of patients taking the drug reported reduced pain and muscle stiffness that those taking fake capsules.
Experts said the mixed results make them tricky to interpret. Some said they were encouraged any improvement was noted, while others said if there had been a major effect, it would have shown up in the doctors' tests.
