This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study on a cannabis-based medicine extract (MediCabilis CBD Oil), in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Motor Neurone Disease. Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive MediCabilis CBD Oil or placebo oil. The treatment duration is 6 months with one-month safety follow up. Participants will be checked every month either face to face or via telephone and will be assessed to collect data for study objectives such as ALSFRS-R, Forced Vital Capacity, pain and spasticity score, and quality of life. Thirty (30) participants will be randomised.

| Difference in mean ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) total score between groups at end of treatment (Total score: min 0- max 48) [efficacy] | Change from baseline in ALS functional rating total scores on the ALSFRS-R at 24 weeks. Total score ranges from 0 to 48. Higher value represents better outcome. | Baseline to Day 180 |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Nature and number of adverse events [safety and tolerability] | Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0 at 24 weeks | Baseline to Day 180 |
| Difference in mean Numeric Rating Scale for spasticity total score between groups at end of treatment (Scores 0-100) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Difference in mean Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioural ALS Screen (ECAS) total score between groups at end of treatment (Score 0-136) | Change from baseline in quality of life total score on the ALS Specific Quality of Life- Revised (ALSSQOL-R) total score at 24 weeks. Total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher score represent better outcome. | Baseline to Day 180 |
