Just printed out a report from the Uni of NSW to trawl through.<br /><br />Very interested in an cannabis oral spray that is legal in many countries - it is specifically for relieving symptoms of MS. They are or about to or where going to trail it here.

Though most people I knew did. I never had any side effects and tried it again a few years ago at a party and it made me very depressed the next day, so I won't touch it again. And I do think it does produce long term damage in people mentally. I've seen it.Anthony J.

There are alternative ways of taking it besides smoking and eating that decrease side-effects. One of the submissions I have read is from the NSW Cancer Council, and they are in favour of using it in certain situations. But yes, last time I smoked it a few decades ago, I became very paranoid, which is why I probably never smoked it again.

I did a search on RN and a much longer interview with her is at http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/sundayextra/segment/4698666<br /><br />Thanks.

(from experience).<br /><br />I hate literature or poetry where its obvious the author is 'trying' to impress, with the thesaurus clearly handy. I tend to give up on them. Wanker is a good analogy. Seems to be a lot of them in the Australian scene. Anthony J.
