Despite its popularity as a recreational drug, cannabis has also been used throughout history to relieve pain and aid relaxation.Beth Cohen and Emma Monròs investigate the uses of this controversial plant in contemporary medicine, discovering its effects, benefits, and contraindications. Emma talks to doctor Magí Farré to find out how cannabis-derived pharmaceuticals are currently administered and how changes in the law could benefit sufferers of certain conditions such as chronic pain and cancer. To find out more about legal cannabis cultivation, we visit Canamedics in Manresa, the first company in Catalonia with an official license to grow medicinal cannabis. Owner and co-founder Luis Comas talks to us about this groundbreaking enterprise. This week's Catalan phrase is "Que bé s'està, quan s'està bé", used to express gratitude and recognize your good fortune when things are going well. It's a perfect feel-good phrase to end this podcast about health and well-being on a high!
