Motion text
That this House recognises the benefits of medical cannabis for people suffering with chronic pain, epilepsy and a variety of other conditions; welcomes the legalisation of medical cannabis on 1 November 2018; regrets the difficulties patients and their families continue to face accessing medical cannabis through the NHS; further regrets the restrictive NHS guidelines that prevent most patients from accessing it and deter doctors from prescribing it; condemns the two-tier system that this has created where only those who can afford private medical care have easy and ready access to medical cannabis; and calls on the Government to use every means necessary to ensure that NHS patients have easy access to medical cannabis should they need it.
