I'm no Expert, but I would go into an "Iffy" area, and look for a £100.000 property with an £120.000 car on the drive.

If cannabis was so wonderful in helping pain the drug companies would have found a legal way of exploiting its use.

I am happy to be a 'grass' as you crudely put it. I would always report anything illegal, even if it involved my nearest and dearest, that is what a responsible citizen should do.

Get your facts right before judging others.

You can get medicinal cannabis(Sativex) legally in the UK....NHS funded in some cases and at your dictors discretion. Although for MS sufferers this is a positive step.

you can also use a UK prescription in Holland and, as long ias customs are informed, bring the medicatiin back to the UK.

Cannabis has been decriminalised in the UK so get used to it.

The only difference is quality and strength.
I have only seen cannabis once in my life ( apart from the photos of the plants shown on TV)... it looked like an Oxo cube that they crumbled into a cigarette, and I said " No thanks".
I don't know what it costs, but if money can be made on it, I wouldn't buy it from anybody that I didn't know. If it doesn't come from a legal source, so can easily be checked, then how do you know they are not selling you something else, when you are trying it for the first time?

As far as I can see only Sativex can be legally obtained from the NHS, usually for sufferers of MS. Do you think it would be wise for the OP to ask his doctor for some advice on this?

Re: Is it right to break the law to bring relief to the ravages of chronic illness

Robert Chronic pain is a terrible thing and if you can alleviate it even for a short time by taking cannabis it is worth a try.
Have you spoken to your doctor about this, he may be able to help.
