Hi Lizanddewi

I am sorry but I have no idea whether that will help or not I'm afraid.

Do you have Fibromyalgia as well?

As Hidden has said there are other forums that you may find more useful if you don't have Fibro, not that you are not welcome here.

Good luck. I hope you get some answers.

Hi Lizanddewi Welcome to our wonderful forum, I'm sure you will love it and find it invaluable chatting to others who are going through the same as you, at different stages of their lives with fibromyalgia. You don't say that you have fibromyalgia, so I'm wondering if, like Hidden says, it may be the Epilepsy forum you would get more response from.

It's a good idea to lock your posts to the community so they are not accessible from the internet. If you look to right of screen you will see under "Pinned Posts" a number of blue links & instructions on how to lock it.

Peace, luv n light

My son is epileptic and I've heard a lot of people are trying cannabis oil or patches with good results, think it's best to talk to dr or neurologist about it xx

Hi Lizanddewi

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance.

Unfortunately as far as I am aware they are not yet legal in the UK. From what I have read the only cannabis product that is legal is the drug, ''Sativex'' that can only be prescribed for patients with MS.

What is legal is CBD, which can be in oil or a vape. However, for this to be legal in the UK it has to have a THC content below 0.2%. It now has a medical classification as a medication. I have pasted you a link to the GOV.UK cache on this below:

I genuinely hope that this helps answer your question. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
