Why is it so difficult to get medicinal cannabis in the UK? – BBC News



Since it was legalised five years ago hardly any patients in the UK have been prescribed medical cannabis.

Used to treat a number of medical conditions, the Government has been accused of misleading the public over its availability on the NHS.

Campaigners say an exception has been made for a few patients but others are being forcing to fund it themselves, go without or turn to the black market.

The UK government says safety needs to be proven before a wider rollout.
