MS Society says there is sufficient evidence of drug’s effectiveness to relax ban for patients with no other options

Disclosure - I don't smoke dope, no do I have MS. But, it is obvious why I am posting this.

Sativex is £2,000 a year. I did not know this. And Wales is the only part of the UK where you can get it prescribed. Yay, Wales! Can we be prescribed it? I doubt it.

When you see the mind-bending cocktails I have been prescribed, it is amazing that any kind of Marijuana-derived medicine is not on the list.

I was prescribed Modafinil, Gabapentin, Amantadine, Valium and Amitriptyline.

"Can I take them all at the same time?", I joked.

"Oh yes, no problem", he said.
