Closed Cannabis For Autism

Closed on

Cannabis is remarkably safe and non-toxic and is an effective therapeutic medication for many people on the autistic spectrum.

We demand that it be removed from schedule one and we ask the Home Office to make priority 'cannabis based medicines for autism' research to be a condition of the license given to GW Pharmaceuticals Ltd, the license that gives them permission to grow high grade skunk for the purposes of researching and manufacturing Sativex and other cannabis based medicines.
