An oncologist and palliative care consultant with CancerCare Manitoba and the University of Manitoba says he would like to see Canada become a world leader in the use of medical marijuana for pain relief.
The Medical Post reported that Dr. Paul Daeninck told CTV News many patients “know more than the doctors” about medical cannabis and that physicians “get their backs up” when a patient comes in making a specific treatment demand.
Daeninck says there needs to be more studies outlining how medical cannabis can be used, including daily allotments and the benefits patients can experience. He is personally involved in updating the curriculum at the University of Manitoba’s medical school to include information on medical cannabis.
