Should cannabis Be a Medical Option?

This campaign is about promoting cannabis for medical use within the UK - We believe unlike other groups, to make a considered reason for the change in legislation - both sides should be heard in reasoned debate - not bigotry - therefore we will continue to use arguments from both sides - the pro's and the con's.

Proponents of medical cannabis argue that it can be a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy, and other conditions. They cite dozens of peer-reviewed studies, prominent medical organizations, major government reports, and the use of cannabis as medicine throughout world history. Opponents of medical cannabis argue that it is too dangerous to use, lacks government-approval, and that various legal drugs make cannabis use unnecessary. They say cannabis is addictive, leads to harder drug use, interferes with fertility, impairs driving ability, and injures the lungs, immune system, and brain. They say that medical cannabis is a front for drug legalization and recreational use.
