The medicinal cannabis episode

In the UK, cannabis is illegal for recreational use and is classified as a Class B drug.

Dr Sophie is not endorsing recreational drug use – and people should chat to their GP for guidance on any disease or disorder.

Dr. Sophie and Prof David discuss:

• Alfie Dingley’s story • Cannabis and multiple sclerosis • Cannabis and cancer • CBD / THC ratios • Cannabis and glaucoma • Funding and studies • Getting a UK prescription • Supply chain • GP training • Dosing • The T21 Clinic • Risks and side effects • The financial discussion • Big pharma • Costs • Support and guidance

Here’s are some links to David’s book “Cannabis (seeing through the smoke): The New Science of Cannabis and Your Health”
