I couldn't believe this from the BBC:
Relief for multiple sclerosis sufferers
There are a total of 85,000(more like 100,00 to date) people suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) in Britain. This incurable debilitating disease manifests itself with a host of symptoms:
# balance problems
# muscle weakness and spasms
# incontinence
# pain
# tremors
(so they know us!)
Although pharmaceutical drugs are available to MS sufferers, the condition is difficult to control. Clinical tests performed by the Multiple Sclerosis Society showed that most patients responded positively to cannabis. The drug especially alleviated spasms, pain, tremor and increased bladder control.
In addition, a postal survey was conducted amongst patients self-medicating with cannabis in the UK and the USA. More than 90% reported a beneficial effect on their condition. Unfortunately, many patients end up obtaining cannabis illegally.
Spot the problem?
