Despite Legalization, UK National Health Service Hasn’t Prescribed Cannabis

[The Aspie Toker]

Currently, cannabis is classified as a Schedule 2 drug in the United Kingdom; medical use is permitted for “exceptional clinical need.” Also, the medicine must be prescribed by a specialist consultant and not a general practitioner. Furthermore, NHS guidance does not allow cannabis prescriptions without clear published evidence of its benefit and proof that other treatments have been exhausted. That first requirement is an issue worldwide — without legal access to premium cannabis, research on the medicinal benefits of cannabis consumption or inhalation remains sparse.

It pisses me off to no end when they do that, make it seem like it’s better but put so many hoops and bi-laws that if anything your worse off! Fucking government for you, I’m generally pretty liberal but the gov needs to learn to only focus on the shit that affects lives negatively, instead of making it worse for people doing NOTHING wrong
