BRUSSELS - Medical dagga will be distributed in Germany.

An increasing number of German doctors are interested in prescribing medical dagga.

Politicians there have recently decided to make the drug available to patients.

Proponents of the medical use of dagga say the plant relieves suffering or symptoms from illnesses which include Aids, glaucoma, cancer and multiple sclerosis. The drug remains illegal, both for medical and recreational purposes, in most of the world. - Reuters
