There are 2 clinical trials for artritis and cannabis going on in Canada. Both are supported by Health Canada & the Arthritis Society.

Please read this article from the Globe & Mail before you self medicate.

I'm waiting for the results from Dalhousie University and McGill University.

I posted this on your thread, but I wanted it to have a post of it's own. In the city where I live there are many problems with medical cannabis stores not following the government regulations.

It's because of these stores flaunting our laws that many people don't support medical cannabis.

These stores are located throughout Vancouver, just like McDonalds.Thank God these privately owned stores are being shut down and our government will open a few.

I'm glad you are having properly regulated clinical trials. I have certain views on cannabis in recreational use. However, I am very interested in properly regulated trials. There has to be a better way for controlling pain. I don't believe chucking opiate drugs at people endlessly is acceptable.

Yes Crashdoll. I fully support all clinical trials held by reputable Universities any where in the world. McGill University (Montreal) and Dalhouusie University (Halifax) jare doing these clinical trials.

Cannabis is a taboo topic. You just have to walk in the DTES to understand why people are against it. Very scary.

If cannabis can be used to treat RA lets have the medical evidence to support it. If there is documented medical evidence, then it should be dispensed by a the country's medical community like every other drug.
