Clearly there are various grades and strengths as you can already buy CBD Oil from Holland and Barrett, without the psychoactive THC ingredient that commonly gives a 'high' in recreational use.
The gov't seem scared to death that allowing cannabis (with THC) under prescription may be a step too far.
Too far in relation to what?
We already have many very dangerous drugs being dished out willy-nilly by the NHS.
Morphine or opiate extracts are common and some over the counter medicines contain codeine.
I have been prescribed 'Tramadol' for pain and yet that is far from risk-free.
Does the very word 'cannabis' conjure up drug-misuse and if so the what about the rest?
All knee-jerk panic reactions by a Victorian-mentality government, imho.
