Petition · past parliament

Make medical cannabis more readily available for patients sufferings from MS

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to ensure that people suffering from illness such as MS are able to get medical cannabis as it is not often prescribed.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Prescriptions are clinical decisions rather than a decision for the UK Government or Parliament. If you'd like it to be available without prescription, you might like to sign these petitions

Allow people with medicinal cannabis prescriptions to grow their own cannabis
Legalise cannabis for recreational and medicinal use
