UK: Success for new trials of cannabis

Evening News, Norwich

Monday 05 Nov 2001

---

PATIENTS at the James Paget Hospital have reported "miraculous results"
after a series of trials involving cannabis.

The Government sanctioned tests to be carried out at the hospital in
Great Yarmouth last year. The preliminary results suggest 80 per cent of
those taking part have derived more benefit from cannabis than from any
other drug.

The drug - which is still illegal for doctors to prescribe - has allowed
a man previously so crippled with pain that he was impotent to become a
father and a woman paralysed by multiple sclerosis to ride a horse. It
is believed the results will put pressure on the Government to legalise
the cultivation of cannabis for medical purposes by 2002.

Doctor Willy Notcutt, of James Paget Hospital in Great Yarmouth, said:
"Were getting 80 per cent of patients good-quality benefit from the
cannabis. For some we are getting almost total relief from their pain,
with pain scores going down to zero."
