Dear Ms Smith,
I am personally disgusted with the way this Government is behaving over
the issue of cannabis as a medciine. In particular the announcement
that Bill Caldwell is not to be allowed to be given cannabis oil by his
mother, when it is apparent that it is keeping him alive.
Withdrawing life-saving medicine is the same as withdrawing food or water, and if the result is death, it is surely murder.
Cannabis is scheduled under the Misuse of Drugs Act as aplant drug with no medicinal uses.
So it seems strange, especially as Mrs May's husband is an investor in
GW Pharmaceuticals, the company that miraculously extracts Sativex, a
whole-plant extract in alcohol, from the plant to sell at greatly
inflated prices and with limited availabilty.
Even more strange the Victoria Atkins MP's husband is a major investor
in British Sugar Corperation, which apparently exports millions of
pounds of cannabis 'for medicinal use'.
Whilst these men and others make massive profits from cannabis,
individuals in the UK are still subject to arrest for growing even just a
few plants at home for own use.
The UK seems very much behind so many countries in the world today that allow various forms of cannabis on prescription?
WHY is that? Is it in any way connected to the personal investments of those two men and others?
