MP Norman Lamb wants review of Cannabis for medical use

North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb says he's throwing his weight behind plans to make cannabis availaible as a treatment for certain medical conditions.


 

The Minister says it will form part of the next Lib Dem manifesto

A cannabis-based drug which eases painful muscle spasms was made available on the NHS in Wales, but it was turned down in England.

Mr Lamb says we need to follow the science;  "Lets just stick with the science. If there is evidence that cannabis has beneficial effects from a health point of view for someone struggling with multiple sclerosis should we really stopping that person?

"Should we be making it an offence for that person to use something that eases their pain."
