Legalise use of medical marijuana for chronic pain (and other conditions)

Petition Details

Myself (and many others in the UK) struggle daily with chronic pain and other painful problems out of our control.

Why should patients suffer major side effects from pain meds meaning they are unable to function normally in day to day life leading to job insecurity, and reducing their dignity.
