Mandatory Rest Period

The controversal liquid cannibinoid drug Bayer created is coming out with some good results. Perhaps this will help them get this drug more widely available to those that could benefit from it:

"According to GW Pharmaceuticals, the prospectively defined primary efficacy endpoint of the study - the difference between the mean change in spasticity severity of Sativex vs Placebo in Phase B - was highly statistically significantly in favour of Sativex (p=0.0002). The numeric difference between the two groups as measured on a numeric rating scale was 0.84 units from a baseline of 3.89, greater than that achieved in previous studies.

The difference between Sativex and placebo was also significant for a number of secondary endpoints. Approximately 74% of Sativex patients achieved an improvement of greater than 30% in their spasticity score over the entire study versus 51% on placebo (p=0.0003), the company said. "
