Why is it so difficult to get medicinal cannabis in the UK? – BBC News
Since it was legalised five years ago hardly any patients in the UK have been prescribed medical cannabis.
Used to treat a number of medical conditions, the Government has been accused of misleading the public over its availability on the NHS.
Campaigners say an exception has been made for a few patients but others are being forcing to fund it themselves, go without or turn to the black market.
The UK government says safety needs to be proven before a wider rollout.

As an epileptic i know people need this
When 10years of prescription meds for depression sent me into a lifetime anxiety problem (it was a tooth infection not severe depression due to a mental health issue) i lost decades of my life, all the vital ones. I moved to where its legal and its helped me a whole lot, got some life back. The problem is the dispensarys dont supply a consistent strain list, so your always trying to find what works best without any less welcome side effects. For example i have to avoid limonene, but myrcene does good, cbd although calming and pain relieving can make me depressed, so i go with the low thc/cbd strains…but most of the time they dont list the details so you have to research and log your usage.
Overall though the streets emptied of dealers almost overnight and crime rates dropped, its great to be able to make an informed choice from a wide selection. And quite honestly i feel they’re no less aware of the effects of cannabis than they are of prescription meds (to be approved they only need 6 months testing in the usa, 9 months in the uk. Thats not enough by far.
Longterm effects are measured over 30years. So all the modern meds are in their longterm testing phase. 5 of the 10 prescription meds i took got banned.
Cannabis is powerful but has to be used correctly and monitored. It has helped me. I wont touch prescription meds ever again.
People i love have died after being caught in that cycle of meds. It all needs a shakeup..and funding.
Shocker! Government are fine with it as long as someones making a bloody profit (probably someone connected to Government *cough Mr May *cough)
Hypocrites as usual, just legalise it and give everyone a far chance to enjoy the benefits
This world is insane 🤬
As an America in a state where it has been fully legal for over a decade, I am looking at this the way Brits look at US gun laws and thinking "what the hell? Are you serious?".
Hiding comments on certain video’s
That is censorship.
And Censorship is evil
Have a look at the petitions on the GOV website regarding cannabis
Let there be heeeeeeeeeeeeealiiiiiiiing!
Il just see ricky round the corner, he has pleanty of green bbc..
People have been smoking cannabis for generations and the Government are, apparently, worried that not enough is known about it… yet the c*vid jabs were still undergoing clinical trials even when they were given emergency use authorisation and administered to millions of people, the side effects of which are only just coming to light. The Government needs to wake up, and so does big pharma, because the lies and hypocrisy are very obvious now.
Please free Finland.
There are thousands of people that in the same situation as Connor around the UK. Legalise it and let people have their medicine and legalise it for people just to enjoy. It’s one of the safest drugs on the planet for your own health and the health of society. I remember I used to live with a guy from London and he told me that he had grown up in a bad neighbourhood and he had known people who were real thugs making their living from battering people and robbing them but when they were introduced to cannabis they got jobs and became functional members of society. I know it’s an anecdote but it’s a good one.
Uk is the biggest exporter of cannabis. Work that one out
Great job everyone who signed the right to grow petition (medical patients). 10,000+
We are on stage 2 now – 100,000 signatures needed.
MPs have picked up on this, and are expressing their concerns to parliment.
Full details -direct gov
becuase the alcohol companies are suppressing the competition ?
He can’t work but can play video games
why? you watch bbc
Burn down the cane fields, police in helicopter
I had a simmilar experience with eczema .
Doctors never found the cause and for years only gave me various pills and creams that had no effect .
Then I tried a home made cream from cannabis tinture, which helped .
After first month of usage, it improved my situation significantly .
Why not allow people to grow their own ?
Just set a limited number of plants per household, and let people help themselves .

Lazy layabout
Well because it would be abused and everything would start looking like California.
if the NHS doesn’t get a move on i will just be growing it. same boat can’t work and trying to sell things to make enough for my prescription every month or a few seeds for £30 and i don’t need to worry about funding it.
😂😂 The UK always 5 years BEHIND … even lame Canada beat you to it
Well maybe Charles has a different mindset than Elizabeth did regarding cannabis and psychedelics…. ask him.
Stop calling it an unusual medicine, it’s natural, it grows all around the earth and humans have ingested it and many other herbs and substances for thousands of years.
It’s more natural and ‘usual’ than OxyContin or thalidomide or most of the other drugs billions of people take everyday. If it’s safe, and it works, what’s the problem?
Except that it can’t be indefinitely monetised and the users perpetually exploited
It won’t become legal until they can tax it. It isn’t rocket science, it’s always about money.
Canabis is addictive. Finally it makes you look like a mad person.
Why do we have to be a nation of dead heads?
UK grows the stuff exports it to USA , Tory politicians get $
Im a uk cannabis patient myself and its actually very easy to do providing you have your conditions on your medical record and have tried 2 forms of medication what hasnt helped. I use for chronic pain and cptsd and anxiety. Its a huge improvement to my life the benefits from cannabis are unmatched in any medication i have took. If there is anybody who would like to partake then google it uk cannabis clinics.
The stuff they’re growing Looks low quality
Becuase its cheaper than big pharma
Fk the SODOMITE satanic child abusing uk government ….i make my own so can you !
Burning 🔥 one ☝️ and hopefully 🤞 one day to grow some 🎉🎉
Why dont you fools just legalize it?
Legalize it!!
Free da weed like here in Thailand 🇹🇭😁👍
Just legalise it already
Why wait for it to be legal? Everyone i know has been smoking it for 30 years
Buy it on any U.K. street corner,
Just had my first consult this week for MC I’ve been on opiods for years after my chemo treatment any NHS pain specialists just want to give you stronger opiods now I just have to put up with the stigmatism people have towards cannabis.
Need to be careful prescribing this as it’s a known gateway to harder and more addictive drugs
He should try exercising out in fresh air instead of sitting indoors not moving playing world of war craft and smoking high grade thc.
Uk is a sick and lazy nation. All depend on Council benefit and NHS free medicine. What a shame. Should not be G7. GDP to debt is almost 100%. Without foreign investment and buyers, UK is noting burger.
I know a pilot who gets prescribed it and he said his concentration is 10 times better
Phillip May, Paul Kenward, Victoria Atkins MP, all involved & directly profiting from ICI/British Sugar’s exporting of ‘medicinal cannabis’, whilst denying it to uk citizens.
The science should dictate medicinal use NOT stigma or other non scientific influences. If it makes the quality of sick peoples lives better, and has been proven to do so SAFELY, then the NHS should make it available. If it does not, sick people are going to be prayed upon for excess profit just like every pharmaceutical company does in America. God forbid we treat our sick people like America treats it’s medically ill citizens 😮😮😮🇬🇧🌈🇺🇦🙏
why is it so difficult to just not discriminate against us, fuckheads!
#deathsbywelfare we live in a country with hatemongering aa a central part of our society to clarify the hash tag leads to a site supported by 100 charities scandal in regards to discriminating and demonizing disabled people to the point of death
Doctor: "We don’t want to give you drugs."
Patient: "Okay then, I’ll just get them myself."
Doctor: **surprised Pikachu face**
