California Study Reveals Medical Marijuana Benefits
A decade-long $8 million state-funded research effort on medical cannabis has just come to an end. The California-funded Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research sponsored 14 studies at University of California campuses.
As written in the Los Angeles Times: "Investigators report that cannabis can significantly relieve neuropathic pain and reduce muscle spasms in MS patients. More research is urged."
