British Citizenship - Medical Cannabis

In 2009 I was given the opportunity to take part in the BBC Citizenship project for schools.

I now finally qualify for Sativex. It's actually wrongly advertised by British doctors as a complimentary medicine when it's a 'full on' Disease Modifying Drug. It's strange how slowly the law changes in the favour of the chronically ill.

Some British patients are now traveling to the Netherlands for their cannabis medicine. Countries such as Germany and Denmark purchase Sativex, made by GW Pharmaceuticals, as pain and spasm relieving medicine. Sativex is a cannabis tincture that should be made more accessible to those in need.

Sarah is now the British representative for the the International Association of Cannabinoid Medicines (IACM) and recently delivered a presentation at a convention in Bonn, Germany. Her interest lies in 'whole plant' cannabis research and medical use.

British laws stand in the way of essential cannabinoid research and development. Put 'cannabinoid' in Google and inform yourselves, if you please. Thank you.
