[QUOTE="Giverny, post: 379895, member: 46002"] I'd be willing to bet that it'll be legal in the UK to some extent within the next 15 years. Perhaps under a similar system to California, where it's available if you get a medical card from a doctor. The great thing about the system they have is that once you have the medical card, you'll be prescribed a strain of cannabis that suits your condition. So hypothetically, let's say you were prescribed cannabis to help control your blood glucose: you'd have an expert at the dispensary that will pick out the strain that is least likely to give you 'the munchies' and will instruct you on how to ingest the medicine safely (vapourising or cooking, for example). It'd be interesting to see it trialed in this country on a very limited basis to begin with, perhaps just for chemotherapy patients to help combat nausea or something similar. I just *really* don't believe cannabis deserves the bad reputation it has. That's just my opinion though, and I don't mean to come across like some kind of pro-cannabis campaigner :lol: [/QUOTE]
