It's because those are the only conditions the NHS is willing to treat with medical cannabis.
Any other issue and you need to go via a private clinic. This is one of the things so many of us are campaigning for as cannabis can help far more than just those three conditions.
Obviously because the source is the NHS and they don’t prescribe it like the private clinics ? They are only going to link conditions they prescribe for …
I'm guessing this is because NHS will prescribe stuff like Sativex for certain conditions without the need to use a private clinic. Would be good to include the other conditions covered by a prescription though.
Because a lot of health professionals like the Police don't understand the Laws or how they are applied in practice.
Recently when discussing my condition CFS/ME with my consultant they had no idea Medical Cannnabis was available , they thought I was talking about CBD obtained from Holland and Barrett ! Here is a consultant for my condition not knowing of a certain medicine available for the condition that they specialise in , there is a distinct problem with out society and government that despite a law change over 5 years ago still the authorities have so much to learn.
This government wants to sweep MC patients under the carpet by not providing basic training to the authorities that have a duty of care to understand the absolute basics.
Because in the UK, we only believe in science our own British scientists have studied.
Unfortunately, we are centuries past being the science capital of the world, put still follow this rule.
In the UK, there hasn't been much research into cannabis.
And if that wasn't rediculous enough for you, please learn about the cost of entry for a business to deal in medical cannabis. The licence cost is astronomical. AND YEARLY, PENDING GOVERNMENT MANDATORY IN-PERSON BUSINESS REVIEW.
It's really no surprise weed sucks and is massively overpriced in the UK.
Because this is a list of illnesses that the NHS are able to prescribe MC for. They aren't going to advertise the conditions private clinics prescribe for, that's the job of the private clinics.
