BBC3 Documentary - cannabis

I received an email today BBC3 Pioneer Productions. In short, they produce science programmes and have been commissioned to make a documentary about the science behind cannabis. They are looking for MS'ers who will talk openly about their use of cannabis, in its natural form, or Sativex...

Do you find using cannabis improves your life? Have you been prescribed Sativex and find that it has really helped you? If so, Pioneer Film & Television Productions would like to hear from you. Pioneer Productions is producing a new 3 part series about drugs for the BBC and are looking for people to take part in the series as contributors that we follow over a relevant period of time. This series is an honest and non judgmental look at drugs and the impact they have on the human body. Combining the testimony of people who use these drugs, medical experts and cutting edge CGI we will explain how they create the effects they do. If you have interest in taking part, please let me know. Thanks, George

Hi, looking more closely, it's being done for BBC3 and a Murdoch-owned channel. They say they are looking at 'the most frequently used drugs – cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy'... erm, alcohol and tobacco? For myself, I read this as trash-telly & CGI plus shock-horror stories - I shall steer clear! I would love to see a proper programme looking more closely at cannabis and MS, however a lot of the research is still in progress (eg. CUPID in Bristol), so we'll have to wait a while for that.
