Sufferers of multiple sclerosis and epilepsy say the current Government funded medicine isn't working for everyone. 

Marijuana based drug Sativex is believed to reduce seizures and constant pain. 

Jamie O'Mara used Sativex for six weeks and his mother Sally says it's the only drug that's made a real difference to his health. 

"We've tried natural therapies, none of which have had the results that this Sativex has had," she told ONE News.

The drug is currently not by Pharmac, and costs $1200 a month. 

Pharmac says although Sativex has some benefits, it is not clear it does a better job than the medicines they already fund. 

Seventy-four people have applied to use Sativex, and with permission needing to be granted, only 26 are taking it.

A CBS poll of Americans just last month found that 56% of voters believe marijuana use should be legal. Instead of investing in volatile and illiquid OTC-traded marijuana stocks, consider creative alternatives GW Pharmaceuticals PLC- ADR (GWPH), 22nd Century Group Inc (XXII) and Altria Group Inc (MO).

While the United States government continues to try to convince the average citizen that marijuana is one of the most dangerous substances in the world, a smoke signal has been seen rising up over the horizon from Washington D.C. that could be an indication that Uncle Sam’s longtime opposition to cannabis may be on the verge of change.

Growing up on a cotton farm in Missouri in the 1950s, Bill Richardson didn’t know a thing about marijuana. Nobody talked about it, he never saw it and he certainly never smoked it.

“I didn’t inhale,” Richardson, LSU’s 71-year-old vice president for agriculture and dean of the College of Agriculture, said with a smile in a recent interview.

Richardson has become the unlikely leader of an effort to get LSU into the pot business.

Ganja has been a buzzword in Jamaica since the Government announced plans to decriminalise the plant in early 2014. Politicians, doctors and long-time advocates have hailed steps to finally make it a legitimate income earner.
