Smoked cannabis for spasticity in multiple sclerosis: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial

In reference to all uninformed negative comments on the use of medicinal cannabis for MS, cancer, HIV/aids, arthritis, etc., Please refer to the Cannabis Trade Association's (CTA) Facebook Page where one can review all current research about medicinal Cannabis. Whilst it is common knowledge that inhaling any form of smoke is potentially hazardous there is ample research about cannabis and its newly discovered compounds. For example, when eaten in its raw form the psycho active ingredient commonly referred to as THC, does not become active until it is heated (i.e., smoked). In other words, when eaten raw, like a vegetable, one does not become "high." Government funded research in Canada and throughout the world on the other lesser known compounds within the cannabis plant called cannabinoids has shown to have a multitude of positive effects on myriad diseases including MS and cancer cells. As a nonprofit association working with Health Canada and physicians for a safe and regulated cannabis industry we aim to help educate people about the facts of this simple but complex plant called cannabis. Again, we welcome all to visit our Facebook page for more information about our organization and daily updated information about medicinal cannabis.
