As for Cannabis........it is prescribed in the UK(not the natural leaf as its quality and purity would be hard to guarantee, but the pharma product)......as a spray or in tablet form (under the name of Sativex).......it is used by MS sufferers, but can also be given for nueropathic pain and the pain caused by some cancers......it is marketed by Bayer Schering.
I remember trials of the medicine being conducted more than ten years ago.

I've had shares in the company that developed it for all of those ten years or more...
GWPharma - Welcome
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can get Sativex as tablets, just the oral spray.
