There is a new drug called Sativex coming from a British pharmaceutical company called GW Pharma.
The drug is made with raw marijuana and provides the following benefits:
- analgesic
- anticonvulsant
- antipsychotic
- anti-spasmodic
- anti-inflammatory
- appetite stimulation
The drug will contain the potent components of marijuana (cannabidiol and delta-9 THC).
The drug will be sued as an mouth spray and is intended to reduce pain for cancer patients.
The most common side effects are:
- fatigue
- dizziness
- anxiety
- confusion
- rapid heartbeat
- intoxication
- depression
The drug has the potential for abuse, and we are wary after the experience of treating so many who've succumbed to addiction to other prescription drugs.
