Medicinal Cannabis is due to be available in the UK on prescription from November the 1st 2018. This decision was made after a high profile case about a young lad who found it useful to reduce his seizures as without it the severity of his epilepsy would be life threatening.
There are also many life changing long term conditions that could potentially benefit from the use of medicinal cannabis. Many are not considered life threatening in the traditional sense but cause daily distressing symptoms sometimes leading to suicidal or suicidal thoughts. Living with a condition that causes these symptoms can make it incredibly difficult to live a full life and often causes the person to be severely disabled including being bedbound or housebound.
There is anecdotal evidence citing medicinal cannabis is helpful to reduce pain and for that reason further research is needed to evaluate but many believe that it will be beneficial it will be for a variety of long term chronic illnesses and the myriad of symptoms they experience. There are many conditions including Fibromyalgia, EDS, Lupus, MS, CRPS, ME, RA, IBS, Crohns, Lyme Disease among others........ that would find relief from medicinal cannabis.
