CANNABIS

FURTHER to the article "Cannabis risky relief from stroke effects" ( ODT, 
13.5.03). Epilepsy New Zealand is aware of some documented reports of the 
apparent medicinal benefits, in some instances, from cannabis use, such as 
articles posted on www.epilepsy.org.uk and an article written for an 
Australian epilepsy agency. As an organisation, Epilepsy New Zealand does 
not condone the use of cannabis and would take a dim view of advice given 
by a field officer in an official capacity.
