As I handed them over to her, she said "is this that cannabis spray"?

I said yes, what do you think?

Before I could finish that short question she put her hands up in front of her and backed up quickly (banging into a table).

Anyone watching this would have ...

Objective: To evaluate the maintenance of efficacy of Sativex in subjects who have gained long-term symptomatic relief of spasticity in multiple sclerosis ...

I recently learned of a new drug approved in Europe named Sativex that has the potential of significantly improving spasticity. It seems to me that is also available in Canada.
I know that it is perhaps topic for other forum but it occurs that I was liberated 9 months ago and spaticity is practically the only major problem left.
