"More than 200 patients denied medicinal cannabis on the NHS are starting a campaign of disobedience by illegally growing their own. They will declare their activity to the authorities and ask not to be arrested. The action reflects anger that six months after the drug was approved for medical use, health trusts are refusing to allow it. “The situation is absurd,” said Steve Moore, of the drugs reform campaign Volteface. “Police have signalled only last week that they will not act against recreational users, yet those who really need the drug are still in limbo.” The initiative is led by Volteface and Carly Barton, from Brighton, whose NHS cannabis prescription, the first written by a British doctor, was blocked by her local health trust." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/patients-refused-nhs-cannabis-grow-their-own-fhblh9w0c |
