ALLOW CANNABIS FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES

As a pharmacist with a special interest in the medical uses of 
cannabis I am delighted that Norman Baker has spoken out. We are not 
talking here about the widespread use of cannabis in the community. 
One particular cannabinoid, CBD, is not psychotropic nor toxic and 
shows promise as a useful drug in certain conditions. The two active 
ingredients, THC and CBD, were discovered in Israel.

That much maligned little country is a world leader in research into 
the medical use of cannabis. Its health service already uses cannabis 
for certain conditions.
