The topic of cannabis for medicinal use has long been shrouded in stigma, confusion and misinformation. With years of legal regulations and cultural opinions about recreational cannabis (which is a very different product), the lines between truth and myth have often been blurred, and even today, most people don’t know the facts about medical-grade, prescribed cannabis.
Often perceived as a taboo subject, it really needn’t be. The legislation of medical cannabis changed in the UK in 2018 and since then Lyphe, a specialist group, has supported patients and worked to destigmatise the use of cannabis as a treatment for medical conditions.
