CANNABIS
By Andrew Colnwell
Andrew uses cannabis to help him with his MS. He thinks it's appalling that you can't get it on prescription and that he gets put in the same category as drug dealers who hang around outside nightclubs. Andrew wants the government to wake up and take notice.

Your thoughts about this video

fail
i realy enjoyed the vidieo it was realy cool

dave
i think this video really makes sense. i personaly think that cannabis should be legalized and available to country wide users

Chad
I think cannabis should be made legal, because its been labled up to be a bad drug but I know loads of people who suffer with bone problems back problems an it seems to do the trick well smoking the stuff, it needs more investigating to be honist not enough research has been done. the goverment could tax cannabis aswell to people who want it, hense stoping the dealers making loads of money out of it.

Millie
Where I live a lot smoke cannabis and keep going on about it being legal. I have noticed that they have now gone onto other things.

Owen
Agreed with Celia

Bud Love
I think Cannabis should b readily available for people with serious illness on tha NHS. But as for legalisation for social use, I don't think it could work as civilized as Amsterdam? The UK people (generally of the older generation) aren't open minded enough to accept users. Unfortunately for those people, legal or not, there are still going to be 'smokers' regardless. I am in definite disagreement of the prison penalties for dealing! (if its just a mate distributing a small amount to his other mates, i think its ludacris to put him in the same category as tha big time dealers) or REAL CRIMINALS! Following up to what Andrew Colnwell said, If to get through a day with a little less pain means smoking a joint, fair play to him. Survival is a struggle if you're always in pain, so you have to survive the only way u can. At the end of it all, who is he/we hurting and affecting? ONLY HIMSELF/ourselves.

Celia
I thought this was a very touching video. It filled you with a lot of sympathy with Geoff and his situation
