On the points Dr. Nolan is making, Professor David Finn makes exactly the same points about what we do know. I take the point that we do not have all of the evidence. He said, in response to the exact point Dr. Nolan is making, the cases of pain could be diverse, but we know that peripheral and central sensitisation are the neurobiological mechanisms underlying most types of chronic pain and that these mechanisms are reduced by cannabinoids. Does Dr. Nolan disagree?
