The United Kingdom has opened up medical cannabis as a option for some patients. There are still restrictions. Such as you must be prescribed by a approved doctor. Also, there is a list of aliments that will qualify a patient. This came because of two boys with epilepsy that were denied access to this life saving medicine.

Cannabis in the UK can be prescribed in cases of

• Children with rare, severe forms of epilepsy

• Adults with vomiting or nausea caused by chemotherapy

• Adults with muscle stiffness caused by multiple sclerosis

This is a small victory of cannabis reform world wide.
