Attitudes of Irish patients with chronic pain towards medicinal cannabis

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

Medicinal cannabis use is topical in the media in Ireland. A recent Health Products Regulatory Authority review, however, has recommended against its use for patients with chronic pain. This is despite evidence for its effectiveness in this patient’s cohort and the inadequate pain management of these patients. The study highlights the attitudes of chronic pain patients in Ireland towards medicinal cannabis. It shows their desire to have medical cannabis legalised for chronic pain and that they view it as a reasonable pain management option.

Macklemore – Glorious

Music ReviewsLeave a comment

In preparation for his next album (this time without his faithful sidekick Ryan Lewis), Macklemore returns to the scene with a typically humble track and a brilliantly down-to-earth video to back it up. Glorious is exactly what you might expect from him and has his trademark smooth delivery peppered all over its easy-listening piano riffs and a great hook sung by Skylar Grey.
