Cannabis could help dementia – ‘Beginning of a new area for clinical medicine’ says doctorWhen people hear the word “cannabis”, what do they think? Mr Barron is one of many people wanting expansion of the availability of medicinal cannabis. A YouGov poll in 2019 found that 77 percent of respondents supported the legalisation of medicinal cannabis. When people talk about medicinal cannabis, they are most often talking about CBD; a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, one of 140 that make up the cannabis plant. Medicinal cannabis is exciting, “like the beginning of a new area for clinical medicine,” said Dr Barron, and not just for the potential economic benefit, but because of the lives it could improve and the people it could save.
