Quote:
The amounts of different substances in street drugs can vary substantially, which is one of the arguments used against legalizing medical cannabis. Ironically, dispensaries use the same argument for stocking/selling different strains of cannabis. Different strains work differently at controlling pain for different individuals, just as doctors use different mixtures of other pain medications or anti-depressants to help individual patients. It gets complicated. Patients with MS (or other approved conditions for Sativex, depending on what country they're in) probably shouldn't make a decision/judgment about Sativex based on previous experience with street drugs.
