Hello everyone,

What are your thoughts on the controversial use of cannabis as a treatment for e.g. muscle spasms?

Please feel free to share your thoughts here.

All the best,

Marina

Sativex has not been approved by NICE for use in England as it has been labelled as 'not cost effective'. Though interestingly it is approved in Wales.

@Yank34 I also asked my nurse about Sativex once and told me the same. I grow my own on a small pot I have in my house (I hope not to get in trouble for admiting this lol) But I do believe that as @ganganmz says, there are just shity days that the only way to reduce all the stiffness and pain is by making a marihuana tea

I strongly recomend it, with precaution obviously

Sativex can put you off cannabis as it tastes foul apparently, I don’t know if it works I have no first hand experience. Cannabis has been medically legal in the uk since 2018, it’s a monopoly, you have to be minted to afford a private prescription here and be legal, so those people unable to work can’t afford it and turn to black market which can be hit or miss medically.... it’s all a bit rude, suffering is legal. It’s all quiet sad, the uk is in a bad way and there is not a lot we can do, seen as they voted away protest rights today. What’s that be quiet and suffer in silence , it’s the British way.
