THE UK Government is criminalising parents “trying to do the best for their kids”, an MP has said, as the number of people illegally buying cannabis for medical issues skyrockets.
A YouGov poll commissioned by Sapphire Medical Clinics found nearly 1.8 million people across the UK with a diagnosed medical condition were turning to the black market to help manage their illness. In 2019, a similar survey put the figure at 1.4m.
SNP MP Tommy Sheppard said while the UK Government has legalised cannabis for medical use, it continues to “drag their feet” on the issue, leaving families behind in the process.
