Transition Year students Patrick Kenny and Sean McGuire from Lanesboro Community College are currently completing their project for next year’s BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition.
The project entitled ‘Medical Cannabis - Is there a middle ground?’is garnering a lot of attention since the lads began working on it because the subject matter is now on the legislation agenda in Dáil Éireann.
The Leader spoke to the students this week to find out how their research is going and what discoveries they have made during this very topical journey.
“We wanted to find out how much the public knew about medical cannabis; we wanted to know if they were misinformed and what did they know about the use of medical cannabis in the treatment of illness and disease, particularly with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Epilepsy, so we carried out surveys,” said Patrick.
“We wanted to help people to understand the issue better.”
