This petition is to ask the goverment to make Sativex widely available to people who have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) to ease the symptoms of MS spasticity, spasticity can have a significant impact on daily activities.
I hope the https://petition.parliament.uk email system is working as I’ve only received one email from them so for which says I have 1 supporter. I’ve asked my family to sign the petition, but they didn’t receive a confirmation email, maybe because we live in the same address? Hopefully we get 5 signatures and they publish the petition.
As someone who does get her Sativex on nhs prescription - And would not be without it. Taken it for about 5yrs. l would like to support this.
The last New Pathways magazine - MS-UK - there were about 10 pages - including the front cover all about cannabis. They have always supported the use of cannabis for MS.
l know the Welsh Health Minister was trying to get cannabis de-criminalised.
I currently get Sativex on the NHS through my GP - but tried it privately first, then asked my Consultant for it through an Individual Patient Treatment Request (Scotland), which I was granted. I received my first NHS prescription through the hospital, then my GP took it on. It was a bit of a carry on but well worth it.
Thank you all, we have 600 signatures now, please keep sharing this petition, please sign the petition if you haven’t yet signed it. You can join me on Twitter @TheArtOfNeeti
