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.
