An Edinburgh family has welcomed a decision by the UK government to introduce two clinical cannabis medicine trials.
Karen Gray, from East Craigs, along with epileptic son Murray, 9, have said that the announcement is “good news” but are now calling on the government to write NHS prescriptions for families relying on THC based cannabis medicines on compassionate grounds.
They say that now that trials are underway, families should no longer be forced to pay out thousands of pounds to keep their children alive.
