Closed Bedrocan and Sativex to become more widely available for chronic pain.

Closed on

I am campaigning for a more wider access to Cannabis based medicine, such as Sativex and Bedrocan to become available for patients whose lives are blighted by conditions that cause chronic severe pain.

Utterly absurd is that patients from the EU can bring medicinal cannabis into Britain under the protection of the Schengen Agreement but British residents risk prison for using exactly the same substance.

Every country in Europe except France and Britain now has some form of medicinal cannabis provision. 15 US states now permit medical marijuana on a doctor’s recommendation and Israel has a fast expanding programme.

I ask that you consider this medication for anybody with chronic severe pain.
