What is 'Sativex'?
There is a company called GW Pharmaceuticals and seven years ago, or eight years ago, they got the idea that if they could grow cannabis, and if they could have an exact strain, and they know exactly what is there, they could take that strain and make that liquification into a spray that you could spray under your tongue, which is one of the better entry points of the body, and get the medicine into your body that way, thereby taking away one of the main problems that is against us, which is that you don't smoke your medicine. So they've come up with something called Sativex. Now Sativex is now a natural plant, cannabis. They take and make a spray out of it and spray it under your tongue. At this moment it has been approved in Canada for neuropathic pain for multiple sclerosis. It hasn't been approved in England or any other country. However, they can import it. They grow their cannabis in England, they make the spray, they ship it to Canada. A doctor in England could say, "I want it for my patient," and re-import it from Canada back to England, but just for that patient. So there are a few patients getting it in England, but not many. And the same way in Spain. Spain is allowing a little bit of use, but they are doing more research.
