Tests sanctioned by the Government are proving far more successful <br /> than doctors, patients and cannabis campaigners ever dared hope. ~ <br /> Some of the patients are simply calling it a 'miracle'. Taking the drug -which it is still <br /> illegal for doctors to prescribe -has allowed a man previously so crippled with pain that <br /> he was impotent to become a father; a woman paralysed by multiple sclerosis to ride a <br /> horse for the first time in years; and a man who couldn't sit up in a chair on his own to <br /> live without a carer. <br /> Until now claims of'the benefits of the drug for certain conditions have been anecdotal. <br /> But the preliminary results of the UK government trial, started last year, suggest that <br /> 80 per cent of those taking part have derived more benefit from cannabis than from any <br /> other drug, with many describing it as 'miraculous'. <br /> The results make it almost inevitable that the Government will bow to public pressure <br /> and legalise the cultivation of cannabis for medical purposes by 3002. Scientists now <br /> predict that cannabis -first used for medicinal reasons 5.000 yeax•s ago -will follow <br /> <br /> 1 of 30 12/30/.`x.001 11:18 :1'~I <br /> <br />
