Maybe not, but they should at least test cannabis if they are saying they are testing cannabis, don't you think...never mind.

I think it is very clear:

Controlled study

"They will receive a capsule containing standardised cannabis extract or a capsule containing tetrahydrocannabinol - the active ingredient in cannabis.

The remaining patients will receive either a standard pain-relieving drug or a dummy pill."

"Controlled study"

Correct. A controlled study of termpene olivitrol, a compound manufactured by Hoffman-LaRoche for Unimed. No cannabis here.

They are testing a patented synthetic designer drug that mimics one of the cannabinoids. A test tube form of the natural compound THC found in cannabis. As you're keenly aware.
