Letter: Cannabis relief

Published 25 August 2001

From James Dawson

Further to your report on the pain-killing effects of cannabis
(28 July, p 11),

I suffer chronic, intractable pain resulting from an accident in 1985. I get
more relief from smoking medicinal-quality cannabis than I do from an implanted
pump that delivers morphine directly to my spinal canal.
