Woman becomes first UK patient to get cannabis prescription

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Medical. No Comments on Woman becomes first UK patient to get cannabis prescription

She’s believed to be the first person to receive a prescription for cannabis in the UK.

Now Carly Barton has described her relief that she can take the drug without fear of repercussions.

Carly suffers constant pain after a stroke in her 20s. She was prescribed the cannabis medicine by the only kind of doctor who can do so – a specialist consultant – but it does come at a hefty cost.

Sky’s Lorna Shaddick reports.

A 7.30 investigation has found some are being pressured to prescribe.

National Health Reporter Elise Worthington and producer Emily Jane Smith have this exclusive report.

While Austria is considered a progressive country by most standards, the same cannot be said for its stance on medical marijuana. Despite the fact that possession of marijuana is basically not a crime in Austria, medical marijuana is still extremely restricted in terms of who can get access to it and what forms it can be prescribed.

In order to change things, several Austrians are risking their freedom and their finances to change the government’s stance on prescription pot. In this episode of MERRY JANE’S Original Series, Wide World of Cannabis, we meet a man who founded a medical cannabis club in Salzburg, a few of his patients, plus several other important figures who are working to change the laws in Austria.
