Still no medical cannabis trials for NHS – five years on from legalisation
Still no medical cannabis trials for NHS – five years on from legalisation
Five years after medical cannabis was legalised, the government still hasn’t funded clinical trials that could see it being used on the NHS, Sky News has been told.
The Home Office reclassified the drug in 2018 to allow specialist doctors to prescribe the drug under tight controls.
But a year later the NHS watchdog NICE warned doctors they shouldn’t prescribe the drug to the eight million patients with chronic pain, because it said there weren’t enough good quality clinical trials.

I find it quite amusing how thay dress like there in a operating room follow the science fools pesents had it figured long ago
THIS is how Kier Starmer, Shadow Tory Prime Minister wins the election. Forget Brexit…
I’ve been conducting daily trials since 1975. I’m about ready to publish.
Because they need money from prescriptions
Remember a Plant that is easily grown has over the many decades been proven much more Safe and Effective than a more recently approved experimental drug!
Plenty research shows cannabis is not addictive there is no side effects to stopping g opoids clearly are this country is backwards
Batch ID 1: Total Vaccinated 711, Death Count 152 , big pharma strikes again
Because big pharma would be out of business
Entire country is fucked from top to bottom if it isn’t legislation it’s letting Islamic terror run riot and dominate our streets. Disgusting state of affairs in the UK atm .
Because they know that cannabis has many many cures for all types of ailments and is a threat to the pharmaceutical industry
Big pharma doesn’t want any studys on it because it would be found out it cures a hole lot of problems and would get people away from there deadly drugs the push on every one …..100 times more people die from big pharma drugs every year then any illegal drug.
The Gates, Fauci and the Rockefellers run the medical and pharmaceutical industry on behalf of the ruling elite
I don’t think this should be a thing and people who smoke cannabis should be locked up
Israel terrorists and America terrorists
The drs and nurses are too stoned😅
30 dollars an eighth of standard strains, I just paid 35 for gorilla cookies so 200 sounds a bit pricey but yes it should be included on my prescription card
Medical cannabis.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
200 for a "month supply" – that’s pretty good! if that’s like 2 bongs per day, it’s a bargain!
They are only worried about the hit their profits are going to take when people find out about its pain killing qualities.
200 s month that’s cheap 😂😂😂
Backward Britain.
its legalised in thiland its a joke it isnt here
Cannabis is not a panacea ,don’t bother.
Be way better legalised
Idiots. We cant even deal with the mental health oroblems we have in the uk as it is. Lets give everyone paranoia, canabis psycosis.
Let one of the big pharma companies have the patent on it, and see how quickly that situation would change!
*Report about the Paris terror attack*
Cheep and effective treatments do not sit well with big pharma, thier interest is money not health. Thats the simple answer.
1ST 🥇 2ND 🥈 3RD 🥉 4TH
Should be illegal anyway
Pot is for meds is bolix, a scam.
Albanians offer it for way cheaper😂
£200 find yourself a decent dealer 😂
Because although we all know how America is run by Big Pharma, the tory government are just as ruled by the same crooked companies
Being British though, we just dont talk aboug it
That needs another 3 weeks the lid!!
The UK is one of the biggest producers of medical cannabis in the world, yet we’re still criminalised for buying it. It’s a disgrace. Cannabis has improved my quality of life no end.
Which trial is this im Manchester and would love to get in on it anyone know?
What CRAP they vomit, they are trying to keep monopoly in hands of pharmaceutical sciences. Just use this most amazing plant direct instead of recreating it in labs, it won’t cost anything to the patients. Greedy moneymaking scheme
Scandalous
It is embarrassing how far behind the UK is on cannabis and the stigma surrounding it. It’s well past time we stop wasting resources towards something people will find a way to smoke anyway, funding the black market in the process. Legalise and tax it now.
£200 for a month’s supply? What clinic is doing it for that price? I pay £300 for a month for 60g with my clinic and that’s cheap.
Dec 2023:
Legal 1 Gram Joint = $7.33 CDN with tax in CANADA
Experimentation and full scale private research ongoing since 1975. Seek & ask veterans!
