Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Legalisation of Medicinal Cannabis: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Colin Doherty:
No. For the particular purified CBD oil, there is scientific evidence, but it has not been published in peer-reviewed journals yet. It has not quite reached the point where people are comfortable with it. Everything is pointing towards reaching the level of scientific significance at which most doctors, especially experts in the area, will be happy to prescribe it. I do not know exactly when that will happen. I anticipate within the next year.
