The use of medical cannabis is growing in Northern Ireland and is being used to treat a variety of conditions from mental health issues to chronic pain.
Alan Robinson, also known as the "NI Canna Guy: on social media, has been using the treatment for a number of years after suffering from depression and poor mental health and believes more needs to be done to highlight the benefits of medical cannabis and the positive outcomes of those using it.
Last year he opened the Stay Medicated medical cannabis vape lounge in Ballyclare, Co Antrim, which is supporting people from across a number of different communities in accessing their treatment and says it is having a big impact on patients and giving many a new lease of life.
