This weekend, neurologist Ethan Russo with non-profit organization Pain BC, took to Reddit for an online question and answer session on medical cannabis.

The interview offered those the chance to ask Russo, also author of Handbook of Psychotropic Herbs and co-editor of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Therapeutic Potential, questions about medical cannabis and its use in pain management.

Canada is in the midst of drawing up guidelines for end-of-life care, but some doctors believe that the medical system isn't doing enough to offer high-quality pain relief to patients, including the option to use medical marijuana.

Though researchers are learning that cannabis can offer many benefits in pain relief, less than 10 per cent of palliative care patients are able to access the drug, in part because of outdated restrictions that make it hard to access, some doctors say.

Fulvia Mrusek is one patient who is able to use medical marijuana. The 66-year-old Woodbridge, Ont., resident recently learned she has Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to her bones, despite the fact that she never smoked.

Drug dealers in Canada may soon have to contend with the biggest business competitor they’ve ever faced: the federal government.

A growing number of countries are deciding to ditch prohibition. What comes next?

The CEO of a Canadian marijuana company says his firm is partnering with rapper Snoop Dogg to get ready for marijuana's eventual legalization and regulation in Canada.

The Long Beach, Calif., rapper has penned lines about marijuana early and often since breaking onto the music scene in the early 1990s.

Thursday he announced his company, LBC Holdings, is giving Tweed Inc. of Smith Falls, Ont., exclusive rights to unspecified "content and brands" in exchange for cash and company stock.

Tweed CEO and chairman Bruce Linton said Friday his company had been "interacting" with Snoop and his representatives for nearly two years.

Lane Britnell says the Saskatoon police ruined $2,000 worth of his legally obtained marijuana extracts following a raid of they city’s only medical marijuana dispensary. 

The former employee of the Saskatchewan Compassion Club says when police returned cannabis extracts that were seized from his home during raids last October, he found that most of the cannabis products were ruined. 

“I would say 80 per cent of it was destroyed or rendered unusable,” Britnell said. 

His lawyer successfully applied to have a judge order police to return the cannabis seized from his home during the Oct. 29 raids, he said.
