Medical Marijuana just became available for use 1st April in Canada, since “…court rulings have required reasonable access to a legal source of marijuana when authorized by a physician…” and I'm wonder if this is the case, or when it will be the case in Australia, for those experiencing chronic back pain? Currently other medications cause side effects which interfere with the life of those who attempt to live a reasonable quality of life, amidst chronic pain and there aren't many alternatives to Morphine.
