    The solution is simple: allow a person to get a licence to grow but not sell to sell. You need a licence to do so. If you are growing or selling without a licence, then you are guilty of trafficking. It's not perfect, but unless they don't get their grubby hands on making a bit of money on the side, they'll never do anything to help those who need help. Also, it should be made law that due to the licence fee, there could never be a charge of VAT for 500 years. (2524) However, the licences are for the number of plants a person has, e.g., 3 plants £30 per year, and so on. Therefore, a person with acres of plants has a lot of money to pay each year. Greed is not good.

    I suffer from serious debilitating leg temours and have been informed by a GP that once I get to the maximum dosage of pramipexole there is nothing more I can take. When asking a GP if I could try cannabis I got told its not available on the NHS. She told me that it takes years to test drugs before they can be dispensed to which I replied.....what like the covid vaccines !!!! I also wanted to try melatonin to try to help me sleep as Im allergic to sleeping tablets , again got told its not available for me. I think that this is to do with the american pharma companies that apparently are buying up doctors surgeries. I dont like much being lied to by GP,s and am now stockpiling medications in preparation for ending my life when the time comes that my conditions become unbearable to live with.

    Because its a very grey area at the moment. I'm a medical patient myself, and patients are being arrested and stigmatised for using it even with a prescription and relevant paperwork. Even the police don't know the laws as they have not been updated by the government on policy even though it has been legal for 5 years. The law around it is stupid, I can still be arrested for smoking a joint, but not vaping. It does the bloody same thing!! The Government doesn't make any money if you grow your own so will never be fully decriminalised in this country

    They might not be able to send you to prison, but they will still arrest you, throw you in the sells for a few nights, interrogate you at any hour of the day or night, before letting you go with a fine. That’s quite a stressful thing to happen to any law abiding person. For someone with a debilitating chronic illness something like that could take months, possibly years, to recover from. For a lot of us just coping with ordinary life takes every scrap of energy we have. We don’t have the reserves to cope with getting a visit from the cops.

    You literally have to jump through hoops to try and get a px, including taking normal prescription medication before even being put forward to discuss your issues with a canabis dr. If you pay privately, the canabis dr will point you back to your own gp and insist you try normal medication first. All normal medications, for the sorts of issues canabis can treat, have to state on the packaging that they may lead to a change in mood, they may cause you to become violent to others or yourself. Let that sink in.... they would rather you took synthetic medications that may lead to the worst things! They have a higher chance of making your problem worse than they do of improving it! We dont need big pharma to licence it either, British Sugar are the biggest producers of medical grade canabis in the world, local farmers near me have been running trials since the mid 90's. Its already profitable.

But overall I think it should be completely decriminalised and made available to anyone who needs it to help with any conditions they find it helps with and statistics do show how beneficial it is to people who are in need of it including myself and millions of others.

    2 thousand a month ? you can get a private script from mamedica in uk from around 300 pounds setup , then choose your meds each month , prices range from 6 pounds a gram upwards , 60 grams , if my maths are right thats 360 a month on meds ,, 60 grams should be ample . the only prerequisite is you must have had at least one prescription of mainstream meds from your gp . For example ,if you need it for sore leg as long as your gp has given you painkillers then you qualify .
