A Wicklow mother who has been fighting to access state funding for medical cannabis for her son's rare form of cancer vowed to keep going today at a rally at the Department of Health.
The Patients for Safe Access Day of Action took place this afternoon in an effort to promote the safe and legal use of medical cannabis in Ireland. Among those speaking and in attendance were doctors, politicians, patients, advocates, influencers, and legal experts.
Pamela Barnes from Wicklow was there today on behalf of her son Ryan whose rare form of sarcoma is now inoperable. Although he was diagnosed seven years ago Ryan has an "amazing quality of life" thanks to medical cannabis, Pamela told Dublin Live.
