Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sativex is known for its effectiveness in reducing spasticity-related pain in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. It contains a 1:1 ratio of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) to cannabidiol (CBD), not a 3:1 ratio, and it is not approved for use in the United States as of the last update. Its therapeutic effects in MS are primarily due to its action on the endocannabinoid system, rather than directly blocking pain.
