This is the boy that led to medical cannabis being legalised in the UK, now even he can't get his medicine....

I find it totally tragic that they can't make an exception for this kid so he can have a steady flow of what he needs.
Fucking bureaucrats is all i'm gonna say.

This is just the British government sticking two fingers up too all the people that really need this medicine it's fecking ridiculous that in this day and age people are still fighting for the right to use this plant.

It's absolutely disgraceful, legalisation should mean ensuring that the people who need it can actually get it.
This boy is proof of the efficacy of the drug, from 150 seizures a week to none in 8 months, and he is not the only one.
Cannabis can also help many other illnesses including others for which there is no other effective pharmaceutical treatment such as chronic pain conditions, I myself have stopped taking two forms of morphine and cut down other medications that I am prescribed due to cannabis.
The side effects of the prescription meds are nearly as bad as the fibromyalgia itself at times. Thanks to cannabis I have lowered the dosages so the side effects are minimised. My main problem has been getting the strains that help the most.

My confidence in politicians to rectify the situation in a timely manner led me to this forum.....

I stopped all of my anxiety meds completely due to weed. I can only imagine how upset this family is. Hopefully now they dont have to bow to EU legislation, the UK will work towards legalisation and accessibility for all patients.

Lets hope they make an exception for all of them then plus keep the door open for new ones that might need the same stuff.
