“A scientist who is also a human being cannot rest while knowledge which might reduce suffering rests on the shelf.”
~ Dr, Albert Sabin
Transforming Ancient Molecules into Modern Miracles
History records that cannabis has been in continuous use as a medicinal treatment for nearly 5000 years. Despite prohibition, people have continued to use cannabis as a therapeutic treatment, reporting unique heath benefits.
In recent years patient activists, backed by a sympathetic public have challenged the prohibition of medical cannabis all over North America. With the relaxation of research barriers, scientists have discovered more than 80 medically significant cannabis compounds – molecules that promise entirely new targeted therapies.
