Sarah Martin has Multiple Sclerosis and, while the British government sells British manufactured cannabis medicines to other countries, it continues to deny it to it's own patients. Ed Stratton and many others are in a similar predicament. Countries such as Germany and Denmark purchase Sativex, made by GW Pharmaceuticals, as pain and spasm relieving medicine. Sativex is a cannabis tincture, effectively a new strain of SKUNK in a bottle. The tax payer should not be asked to support the growth of a benign plant and manufacture of a medicine that can be grown for free. Basic common sense and medical guidance will allow the patient to treat themselves safely in their own homes.
Many say I have balls for doing this. Well, I'm shaken with stress every time I watch this, resulting in some tears and anxiety. I personally can't imagine anything more patriotic than what myself and others are doing. We're trying to save lives and lessen suffering across the globe and £Billions for the British tax payers. Our reward for this voluntary work is the constant risk of arrest. We are in fact, driving public opinion on the government's behalf. It's OK Mr. Cameron, I don't even require your appreciation, just a change in drug policy. I also detest having to view those who run the nation as a bunch of political cowards who can't keep up with the compassion and logic of Europe. Never a vote winner with me.The British government has been ignoring calls for changes already made in other European countries. Why is Britain so far behind when we used to be far ahead? Times change, I guess, but I have not been arrested despite my revelations. The police did not drag my name and address from the BBC. They are clearly more grown up than the government which continues to put it's fingers in it's ears and say, "blah blah blah we can't hear you". There seems to be some theory in practice whereby if they ignore us, the problem will go away. We tried it with them and they are sadly, still here. Mr Cameron, it does not work both ways or any way under the current status. And your argument that cannabis has 'no medical value'? What planet do you currently reside on mate? Even the mighty American Medical Association has decided that cannabis does have medical value. So enough of the bullsh*t please. We've had enough of the political lies and tabloid driven hysteria.
