What the petition asks
Make medical cannabis cheaper or free under NHS. As most can't afford to find the right medical cannabis that works without having to pay thousands for trial + appointment unless you find something that works then it's just 30 pounds per repeat prescription when you find something that does.
Make medical cannabis much cheaper or free under the NHS as it isn't right to force us into poverty trying to find a type of cannabis that works,as you find one that doesn't work you need to try the next thing which is more expensive and then the doctors appointment- (£65)+ £150-£1500 per month that is through a private clinic even with the T21 scheme to make prices lower.
Why should we suffer be punished and discriminated against for being of ill health and in chronic pain, it isn't justice.
