From the article: "Sativex Is basically a Liquid form of Marijuana with one exception, it cannot get you high"

Is this true? I would imagine that the only difference from marijuana is the delivery method, i.e., smoked vs. mucous membrane absorption/ingestion; if the THC and cannibidiol weren't affecting the central nervous system, how would they relieve pain?. Can anyone verify this? It seems a rather unsubstantiated and unscientific claim, but I'll leave it alone til some perspective is gained.

I removed this unsupported assertion. If taken in sufficient amounts, Sativex will produce a high similar to smoking a spliff. JFW | T@lk 21:55, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect information

"(Sativex will remain a Schedule 1 controlled drug in the UK)"

The UK doesn't use the Schedule system that America does. It uses a system of drug classes (Class A, B, C). Do they mean it's Class C (the same as cannabis atm) or what? Haddock420 01:43, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

That came straight from the GW Pharmaceuticals press release dated 2005/11/15. Anarchist42 23:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
