Hi annietap40 - as this is an area still debated by Government, Medical Professionals and Policy Makers, we are unable to comment on substances that at present are unregulated, illegal, or not prescribed for arthritis, by a medical professional in the UK. We advise everyone to make sure they are following their prescriptions and sourcing medication from legitimate Pharmacies, and to keep in mind: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Wishing you all the best,

Despina

I totally agree Dotttie..........it all comes down to money making and the big pharmacies. They would lose far too much financially on their own products. And people will find a way of getting cannabis for pain as there is nothing that even touches my pain that I suffer - osteo arthritis and osteo porosis. I am in my late 70's and fear my future years of having to suffer even more pain. Maybe the Govt will discuss in Parliament and maybe sanction the use of medical cannabis but am not holding my breath.

What the govt probably wants is to get some tax in place before legalising. I do wonder how much the legal use of alcohol costs the NHS against the illegal use of cannabis?

Hi I joined health unlocked 2 years ago but haven't really used it. I just want to thank you for your link to information on magnesium therapy :-) on this topic of cannabis use for pain relief I really do believe it could be a help to some but not me! Should I own up! 🤔🙊 it would make me psychotic! Perhaps CBD oil without the ilucinary? effects from an approved and trusted, tried n tester supplier would be of benefit. We have a market stall,the man who runs it has severe epilepsy. He told me his grandmals are extremely rare now he uses it. All said, he must be ok to be working full time selling a product that has had remarkable results for him. Anyway enough waffle! Gratefully, Jane x
