New Delhi: Indian government scientists are looking into ways to tap into medical uses of cannabis to help in management of cancer, epilepsy and sickle cell anemia.
The Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine’s (IIIM) research on this is currently at a nascent stage. The IIM is part of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The Indian Council for Medical Research and the Department of Biotechnolgy are also involved in the research.
Clinical trials will reportedly be carried out at Tata Memorial Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences and a Raipur-based hospital.
