FRANCE OKAYS MEDICINE DERIVED FROM CANNABIS

The French drug safety agency has approved commercial sales of a 
medicine derived from cannabis for the first time in France. France's 
health ministry said on Wednesday that sales of Sativex will be 
allowed for the treatment of muscle spasms linked with multiple 
sclerosis. Sativex is said to contain two of marijuana's best known 
components - delta 9-THC and cannabidiol.
