RESEARCHERS TO CONDUCT MARIJUANA CLINICAL TRIAL

The first clinical trial studying the safety of marijuana as medicine is 
about to enroll patients at seven clinics across Canada. Led by researchers 
at the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, doctors plan to follow 
for one year 1,400 chronic-pain patients, 350 of whom use cannabis to 
manage their pain. Cancer patients are not to be included in the study. 
Those wishing to participate can contact 1-888-302-4636.
