Let's Talk MS Medical cannabis and low-dose naltrexone
How helpful is cannabis-based medication for people with multiple sclerosis? Ian Cook speaks to Professor Mike Barns, Chief Medical Officer at Drug Science, a group which works to provide an evidence base free from political or commercial influence. Proff Barns explains the work they are doing to make accessing cannabis-based medicine easier to access for people with multiple sclerosis, and how it can benefit patients.
