CANNABIS TRIALS BOOST

Cannabis-based drugs on the NHS came a major step closer today with 
publication of successful trial results from a British company.

GW Pharmaceuticals said it had made a "highly significant" breakthrough in 
cannabis medication trials with 34 patients with severe pain, mainly 
multiple sclerosis and spinal injury victims.

The drug, in a spray form, could be available in 2004.
