One of James’ patients Leigh also gave his account of what safe access to medical cannabis has meant for him. He added that ‘for the first time now, I can make serious plans about my future’.

The second video features Dr Mike Platt, a Pain Specialist and Medical Director of Sapphire Clinics who explored the evidence of the efficacy of medical cannabis for chronic pain.

Dr Platt was joined by Lorna Bland who suffers from Fibromyalgia pain, that didn’t respond to any pharmaceutical products. After researching medical cannabis and securing a referral to Sapphire Clinics Lorna has been able to manage her condition effectively.
