What is Sativex?

Sativex is a mouth spray developed for multiple sclerosis patients, who can use it to alleviate neuropathic pain and spasticity. It is distinct from all other pharmaceutically produced cannabinoids currently available because it is derived from botanical material, rather than a synthetic process.
