Background

I want the Government to provide funding to make medical cannabis more available on the NHS than it is at present, for all who need it, in a similar way to other current medications.

Additional details

I want the Government to fund more research to help make medical cannabis more freely available on the NHS because I believe many people could benefit from this. Myself I have ADHD etc and I feel it would help my brain focus and many others and also help people with many conditions physical or mental or neurological. It's already a proven medicinal plant and I don’t think people should have to spend a lot of money to get it from private companies.
