Patients across the United Kingdom
are currently being denied a
medicine that has the ability to
transform their lives.The cannabis
plant has been utilised across the
world as a safe and effective
medicine for thousands of years.
The United Kingdom is becoming
increasingly isolated in a world
where the benefits of cannabis are
already widely recognised. More
than two thirds of the EU, Israel,
Canada and 23 US states now permit
patients to medicate with cannabis.
Patients from other EU countries can
legally bring medicinal cannabis into
the UK under the protection of the
Schengen Agreement: Patients can
bring up to thirty days supply of
medication and use it without
restriction.
In contrast, a UK resident, with a
condition qualifying for medicinal
cannabis, could be risking a prison
sentence for possessing or growing
the very same plant.The UPA
demands the government recognises
the therapeutic benefits of Cannabis.

Medical Cannabis has increasing support from scientists and politicians
Keiron has Epilepsy and found that pharmaceuticals didn't work to control his
seizures.“I can’t get cannabis very easily and I have started having seizures
again.With every seizure comes the chance of brain damage,my life
expectancy would go up if I move to a place where I could access the right
amount of medical cannabis”.Keiron should not have to move to be well.
Sarah has MS and finds cannabis helps her with her condition.“ I did some
research and realised there was more to our drugs laws than meets the eye,
cannabis is historic and traditional.It helps me with pain and spasms”.Sarah’s
story was featured on BBC’s Inside Out in 2010 where she travelled to the
Netherlands to obtain prescription cannabis.
Matt has Bipolar Disorder.“The University of Cologne proved CBD is an
anti-psychotic in 2012,why does the government let GW grow high CBD
cannabis but I would be criminalised for growing the same plant? I find
cannabis is the best thing for my mental health and I should legally be able to
obtain medical cannabis from a licenced dispensary”.
Alex has Crohn's Disease and uses cannabis to alleviate his chronic pain and to
help him eat and sleep.“Cannabis' therapeutic effects noticeably reduce my
symptoms,it relieves my pain,stimulates my appetite,helps me sleep and
reduces my inflamation.It is believed that using medical grade cannabis oil
could lead to remission in Crohn's patients”.
Jane featured in theWorthing herald after being diagnosed with Peritoneum
Cancer and taking medical cannabis oil to treat the cancer.“They said to me it’s
incurable.They would give me chemo when it starts to be a nuisance and that
could hold it off for a while.When you compare it to the cost of some cancer
drugs,it’s comparatively cheap,the last time I had a blood test,the doctor was a
little suprised nothing had shown up so I’m hoping it’s working”.
Justine has Anorexia,Anxiety and Depression.“The more cannabis I used the
more I ate,I have now made it to 8 stone 3lb,it clears my head of horrible
thoughts enough to be able to concentrate on my training and work,I think all
adults should have legal access to cannabis and all patients should be able to
benefit from the therapeutic benefits of cannabis”.
Susan has found that cannabis helps her to deal with the symptoms of
Menopause,particularly as a sleeping aid.“ when I use cannabis I can sleep,it
has helped me greatly to deal with the sweats and cramps of menopause.
If cannabis can help me it can help thousands of others”.
At the age of 27,Ann was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.“I was terrified
that it would mean an end to the career that I had worked so hard to achieve.
I am so thankful for cannabis,which helps me to control pain,and the side
effects of prescribed medication,allowing me to remain a productive
and reliable member of the workforce”.
Anis had been prescribed Anti-Depressants after facing traumatic events as a
child but found they made him sleep all the time and put on a lot of weight
which led to him getting Diabetes.“I wanted to come off the meds so I could
take care of my Autistic son,I went to Amsterdam for 3 months to come off my
meds.5 minutes in a coffee shop was enough to reduce all of my symptoms”.
Chris suffered a spinal injury as a child,as a result of this he has problems with
pain and spasticity in his legs and medicates with cannabis to relieve his
symptoms.“I’ve had medication from the hospital before which drove me
absolutely insane and I found that cannabis works very well and stops my legs
jumping around and helps me get a night’s sleep”.
Viv found that cannabis was beneficial for her and her family.“My son,Asa has
Diabetes and cannabis helps him control his levels to such an extent he can
take half the injections he needs without it.I had a wart on my foot which was
very painful and led to me needing crutches.The NHS consistently failed to
remove it.I used cannabis oil on it and it has completely gone.Myself and my
son should not be criminals for finding a medicine that helps”.

Sativex IS Cannabis
This is made from...This is made from...
SativexSativex
TheTruth About Sativex
Did you know that since 1998 our Government have permitted a UK-based company,
GW Pharmaceuticals,to grow 100 tonnes of high strength Cannabis each year?The
crop is turned into a full Cannabis plant extract called Sativex,which is adminstered as
a sublingual spray.This legal medicine has consistently been proven as effective for
spasticity in MS patients participating in human trials,however an NHS Commission
decision ruled out routine funding of Sativex,due to it's cost.With a yearly charge of
£10,070.55,based on a median of 4 sprays per day - a relatively small dose - and with
GPs requiring to register and pay for a licence to be able to prescibe the medicine to
their patients,the NHS in England has deemed this too expensive.This means that only
a small percentage of MS sufferers that apply for funding receive an NHS prescription
for the drug that has the potential to be beneficial to so many,with some patients
forced to pay private charges of up to £850 per month.If a patient were to grow their
own medicine,the yearly cost would be just £2200,allowing £1000 for equipment and
including electricity,based upon an average energy cost of 17.2p per kWh,so why
such a high price from the pharmaceutical industry?The alternative is for patients to
turn to the black market,or suffer.August 2014 saw the NHS inWales approve access to
funding for the use of Sativex,so why not everywhere else? UPA believe patients
should not be criminalised for choosing the best medicine for their condition.
Cannabis & Mental Health
There has been a surge in negative reports from the media regarding the dangers of
'Skunk' - a strain of cannabis high inTHC,bred in the 1980's.The term Skunk is often used
by British media and politicians as an easy means to justify prohibition,rooting back to the
negative connotations towards high strength cannabis.'Skunk' and regular Cannabis can
be distinguished similarly to beer (5% ABV) and a high strength spirit such as vodka or
whisky (40% ABV).Without regulation,proper testing and labelling,it is very hard to
determine the difference between high and low strength varieties.CBD,also present in
many cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,which
may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating.
Any dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of the
black market.With regulation comes age limits,cannabinoid testing facilities,greater
access to information and strain choice,with patients able to tailor their treatment as
appropriate,including the option of CBD dominant strains.For the majority of people,the
most harmful effects of cannabis come as a result of the criminal records that are levied
upon otherwise law abiding citizens.

Sativex IS Cannabis This is made from...This is made from... SativexSativex TheTruth About Sativex Did you know that since 1998 our Government have permitted a UK-based company, GW Pharmaceuticals,to grow 100 tonnes of high strength Cannabis each year?The crop is turned into a full Cannabis plant extract called Sativex,which is adminstered as a sublingual spray.This legal medicine has consistently been proven as effective for spasticity in MS patients participating in human trials,however an NHS Commission decision ruled out routine funding of Sativex,due to it's cost.With a yearly charge of £10,070.55,based on a median of 4 sprays per day - a relatively small dose - and with GPs requiring to register and pay for a licence to be able to prescibe the medicine to their patients,the NHS in England has deemed this too expensive.This means that only a small percentage of MS sufferers that apply for funding receive an NHS prescription for the drug that has the potential to be beneficial to so many,with some patients forced to pay private charges of up to £850 per month.If a patient were to grow their own medicine,the yearly cost would be just £2200,allowing £1000 for equipment and including electricity,based upon an average energy cost of 17.2p per kWh,so why such a high price from the pharmaceutical industry?The alternative is for patients to turn to the black market,or suffer.August 2014 saw the NHS inWales approve access to funding for the use of Sativex,so why not everywhere else? UPA believe patients should not be criminalised for choosing the best medicine for their condition. Cannabis & Mental Health There has been a surge in negative reports from the media regarding the dangers of 'Skunk' - a strain of cannabis high inTHC,bred in the 1980's.The term Skunk is often used by British media and politicians as an easy means to justify prohibition,rooting back to the negative connotations towards high strength cannabis.'Skunk' and regular Cannabis can be distinguished similarly to beer (5% ABV) and a high strength spirit such as vodka or whisky (40% ABV).Without regulation,proper testing and labelling,it is very hard to determine the difference between high and low strength varieties.CBD,also present in many cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,which may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating. Any dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of the black market.With regulation comes age limits,cannabinoid testing facilities,greater access to information and strain choice,with patients able to tailor their treatment as appropriate,including the option of CBD dominant strains.For the majority of people,the most harmful effects of cannabis come as a result of the criminal records that are levied upon otherwise law abiding citizens. many cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,whichmany cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,whichmany cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,which may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating.may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating.may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating. many cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,which may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating. many cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,whichmany cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,which may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating. many cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,whichmany cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,which may in fact play an important role in reducing any negative experiences when medicating. many cannabis strains,has anti-psychotic properties and a balancing effect onTHC,which Any dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of theAny dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of the black market.With regulation comes age limits,cannabinoid testing facilities,greaterblack market.With regulation comes age limits,cannabinoid testing facilities,greater Any dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of the black market.With regulation comes age limits,cannabinoid testing facilities,greater Any dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of theAny dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of the black market.With regulation comes age limits,cannabinoid testing facilities,greater Any dangers caused by 'Skunk' are exaggerated by cannabis being in the hands of the Tetrahydro- cannabinol ∆9 THC∆9 THC Cannabidiol CBDCBD This is made from...This is made from...This is made from...This is made from... «««««« This is made from...This is made from...This is made from...This is made from... ...This
