Medical cannabis information day at Hydro-ease with Medi Cann Sunday 23rd November from 1-3pm
Did you know that in 2018 the 2001 Misuse of Drugs Regulations were amended to legalise “cannabis-based products for medicinal use in humans” (CBPMs) (Misuse of Drugs (Amendments) Regulations, 2018), when prescribed by a doctor on the specialist register and where other treatments have failed.
Medical cannabis prescriptions vary by level of THC and cannabidiol (CBD), by THC:CBD ratio, and by mode of administration (for example, ingestion of oils or va**ng of dried flowers), depending on the type and severity of the condition being treated.
Recently I’ve found myself having more and more conversations with people who are turning to cannabis for pain relief, from both physical and mental pain. People who are titrating off other medications and finding great relief from cannabis.
My main concern for them is the criminality associated with cannabis use. People who are in good jobs, with happy healthy families, pillars in our communities who have found relief from the use of cannabis are running the risk of a criminal record for using a medicine that actually works for them, now I’m not saying this is the road to recovery for everyone, but for those who find ease and relief we need to be removing the risks associated with their choice of medicine.
On the 23rd of November from 1-3pm we will be hosting a prescription cannabis information day at Hydro-ease in partnership with Lee from medicann, one of Northern Ireland's first medical cannabis clinics .
If you would like more information about cannabis prescribing, would like to decriminalising your use, or the use of someone close to you please join us for an informal chat so you can make an informed choice based on research, science and fact!
