Cannabis: Canada stops therapeutic use
December 6, 2006 - AGI
(AGI) - The Canadian Federal Government decided to cancel the Medical Marijuana Research Program (MMRP), that is, the research programme on the medical use of marijuana. The programme had been opened after the Ottawa Supreme Court decided to distribute the substance to patients with chronic or acute pains.
The decision to block the programme caused a reaction from medical associations, especially the Canadian Medical Association, which, in its journal (CMAJ) said the government "is sending a harsh message to clinical research on the risks and benefits on the use of cannabis".
The programme began in 2001 with funds of 262,000 Canadian dollars for a pilot project involving 32 people with chronic pains linked to neurological illnesses. In 2003, a second study was launched, financed with 1.8 million Canadian dollars, which involved 350 users of therapeutic cannabis.
