Rattlesden YouTuber and her medical cannabis quest

A woman who self-medicated with black market cannabis to help with insomnia is campaigning for it to be accessed more easily on the NHS.
Kady Hughes, 35, who lives in Rattlesden explained to Wayne Bavin what she would like to happen with the laws around medical cannabis

An NHS spokesperson said: 鈥淭he NHS in England already offers several cannabis-based treatments that have been approved by the MHRA and recommended by NICE as safe and clinically effective.

鈥淢any doctors and professional bodies rightly remain concerned about the limited evidence available concerning the safety and efficacy of unlicensed products.

鈥淢anufacturers are encouraged to engage with the UK medicines licensed process, which can help provide doctors with the confidence to use the products, in the same way they use any other licensed medicines that are recommended for use on the NHS.鈥
