Allow regular GPs to prescribe medicinal cannabis in all forms for any condition

Closed 359 signatures

What the petition asks

In America and other countries, medicinal cannabis has been shown to improve many conditions. It's next to impossible to get a prescription here in the UK for the worst conditions. Let's change that and also open the door for all treatable conditions.
Help people with chronic pain, sufferers of neurological issues and more with a better medicinal marijuana law.

I'm not going to preach about legalising it for recreational use, I just ask for the government to consider making medicinal marijuana more acquirable for those who could benefit from it.

WHO has recommended rescheduling cannabis to allow medical applications: https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.l574
