WHY ARE WE WAITING?

It is estimated that there are some 80,000 people in the country with
Multiple Sclerosis. It is also estimated that around 10,000 of these people
are using cannabis, illegally, to alleviate their symptoms.

A very small fraction of these people have been permitted to take part in
clinical trials to prove what they already know, that cannabis is effective
in relieving their suffering. These are the lucky ones. The rest face a
stark choice. Either suffer in silence or live in fear of arrest and
prosecution..

Courageous people like Colin Davies, who presented a bouquet of cannabis to
the Queen, shouldn't have to resort to such stunts to make the point that
it is cruel to make these suffering people wait any longer for a legal
supply of this drug.

Two years ago a House of Lords Select Committee completed a comprehensive
study of medical cannabis and concluded there was enough evidence to
warrant allowing doctors to prescribe cannabis for certain conditions, yet
we are still years away from making this a reality. I guess time flies when
you're not in pain.
