BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Edinburgh, East and Fife | Cannabis spray helps cancer pain: "Cancer patients who used a cannabis mouthspray had their level of pain reduced by 30%, a study has shown.
The cannabis-based spray, like a mouth freshener, was used on 177 patients by researchers from Edinburgh University.
They found it reduced pain levels by 30% in a group of cancer patients, all in the Edinburgh area, who had not been helped by morphine or other medicines.
The spray was developed so that it did not affect the mental state of patients in the way that using cannabis would."
