"NMSS believes this study is the first marijuana MS study"

Marijuana or THC? Also, I thought Sativex® was already released.

Marijuana or THC?
That is what the studies are trying to determine. Doctors are treating MS with medical marijuana. Will synthetic THC work as well? So far, research suggests that synthetic THC should work as well or even better than marijuana. For some reason, as yet undetermined, synthetic THC is less effective than marijuana for most patients. Cannabis research is still new. It began in earnest in 2000. I'm sure they will solve the problem and will more than likely develop a cannabis derived medicine that works even better than marijuana. But, medical marijuana is available now and is helping patients who have no other option.

Also, I thought Sativex® was already released.
Sativex is legal in Canada and the UK. Sativex is considered marijuana by the DEA and it is illegal under federal law. Importing Sativex from Canada is drug smuggling.
