Allow Cannabis Patches to be prescribed on the NHS for Chronic Pain conditions

Closed 320 signatures

What the petition asks

Cannabis Patches should be prescribed on the NHS. It’s safer and cheaper than drugs currently used such as Morphine and Fentanyl.
I have many Chronic Pain conditions. I have been taking controlled drugs for over 12 years such as Morphine, Fentanyl, Oramorph and Tramadol ALL this could be avoided if I could have ONE Cannabis patch. What I take is far more addictive and costs much more than a Cannabis Patch. It’s time we had Cannabis Patches made available on the NHS.
