Wish they would do it here, I'd like to try the oil but don't know if you rub it on your chest or drink/eat it.
Hi
The UK is a global leader in the use of cannabis for medical research.
The first license was granted to.
One of the two products they produce is exported to 29 different countries.
They have just completed a deal with.

To cultivate cannabis plants on a large scale.
Maybe people who are interested and have personal knowledge of the benefits of cannabis for the likes of COPD, should lobby the company to see if they would look into it.
They do have a partner company which as a interest in the treatment of COPD.
Yes, the media has been swamped with tales of personal experience for the last week or so. I heard people saying it helped with their cancer symptoms, migraine pain, chronic pain of all sorts but nobody mentioned lung disease. It's nice to see Ireland legislating in this way rather then ignore the needs of those who live with constant pain.
Hi My father was given cannabis when in hospital in 1980 when he was dying from cancer he lived in Berkshire
Take care

Let's hope it delivers on it's promise and brings relief to people who need it.

Quote: 'Studies performed in the 1970’s at the University of California Los Angeles by Donald Tashkin have shown that both inhaled and orally ingested THC produce bronchodilation for up to two hours after administration [1]. Further investigations by the Respiratory Pharmacology Laboratory in Paris have shown that CB1 receptor activation inhibits cholinergic contraction in a concentration-dependent fashion, offering a possible mechanism for acute bronchodilation associated with cannabis intake [2]. Although smoked cannabis also has this effect, any kind of combustion creates other lung irritants that would be counterproductive for COPD treatment.'
I did try smoking it once I was in so much pain it did nothing for me apart from the smell it made me wretch
