First patient in the UK to receive a medical cannabis prescription
Some might think this is great news for everyone who needs medical cannabis in the UK but like many things in life it is not all what it seems...prescription is expensive and very hard to obtain...Carly kindly explains the process and her condition in the video link below ~DGF
A 32-year-old woman is believed to be the first person prescribed cannabis in the UK after it was made legal for medicinal use last month.
Carly Barton, from Brighton, who suffers constant pain from fibromyalgia following a stroke in her 20s, was given a prescription by a private doctor who specialises in pain management.
The NHS is not funding the treatment, so she is having to pay £2,500 for three months' treatment herself.
"In terms of money this is going to cost me everything I have, so two and a half grand for three months' supply," she said in a Facebook video.
