From Canada.com, a new study proves scientifically that marijuana relieves pain. Of course, authorities in the US have suspected this for a long time now, which is why the US government has not approved any study that would settle the question once and for all.

This edition of HealthWatch takes a closer look at the burden of chronic pain and a recent study that has received a great deal of attention
