NHS 'refuses' medical cannabis for children with epilepsy

Post by The Aspie Toker »

The NHS has repeatedly refused to fund medical cannabis for children with severe epilepsy, families have said.

Three prescriptions are thought to have been written for "whole plant cannabis" oil since it was legalised two years ago, campaign group End Our Pain say.

But at least 20 families are paying for costly private prescriptions after being turned down by the NHS, it said.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
