Cannabis Can Cure Too
Rob Scott-Wright Letters, Worthing Herald
Wednesday 17 Sep 2003 Mr Stubbs need not be concerned that cannabis is causing an increase in psychtriatric admissions (Real cost of cannabis, September 4). It seems more likley that sufferers from mental illness are increasingly using cannabis to treat their condition. Evidence of the drug's medicinal and stress relieving properties are becoming more widely known among patients and doctors alike. According to a survey published by the journal Disability Now a quarter of disabled people in Britain are now taking cannabis with their doctors' approval. No one would consider that cananbis causes their physical disability. The company licensed to produce cannabis-based medicines is currently looking for people suffering from mental illness to become involved in clinical trials to find out if cannabis is indeed a safer alternative treatment to psychriatric drubs Rob Scott-Wright, Paranets Against Lethal Drugs (PALAD), 26 Sackville Crescent, Worthing -- Hugh Drugs and Accident Risk in Fatally-Injured Drivers Olaf H. Drummer, Ph.D. Victorian Institute of Forensic Pathology, Department of Forensic Medicine, Monash University, 57-83 Kavanagh Street, South Melbourne 3205, Australia "It was of some interest that cannabis tended to show a negative effect on relative risk when other drug groups showed an increase. This phenomenon has also been seen elsewhere [Terhune et al, 1992; Williams et al, 1985]." http://www.ukcia.org/lib/driving3.htm
