British research into the clinical use of cannabis is to be extended to include studies of pain relief in cancer sufferers. More than 100 people with terminal cancer will take part in the trials, in which whole-plant extracts of cannabis will be given as a spray under the tongue. The company behind the study, Salisbury-based GW Pharmaceuticals, is already testing cannabis on patients with multiple sclerosis and spinal-cord injuries. The attitude of British officials towards medical cannabis use has softened in recent months. Home Secretary David Blunkett said in October that the law could be changed to allow clinical use if trials were successful.
