Trial of cannabis withdrawal drug begins [Hemp Forums - Medical Cannabis] : Hemp Embassy

(Blogger's note: I'd like to see the research showing they found that elusive property in cannabis that causes the said addiction - since even its worst critics have to admit NO STUDY has found anything that leads to physical dependence on it.")

Trial of cannabis withdrawal drug begins [Hemp Forums - Medical Cannabis] : Hemp Embassy: "AUSTRALIAN researchers have begun what they say is a world-first study into a drug to manage withdrawal from cannabis.

Trials are underway in Sydney and Newcastle of the drug Sativex, a botanical extract of cannabis administered through a mouth spray.

The Director of the Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre Professor Jan Copeland said there is currently no targeted drug available for regular cannabis users.

"If we can provide evidence that Sativex is useful in this very controlled condition we will then be really ready to test it in community-based studies," Professor Copeland said."
