To grant permission for the medicinal use of cannabis for those suffering with chronic pain


To grant permission for the medicinal use of cannabis for those suffering with chronic pain
The Issue
Many individuals in Jersey live with chronic conditions with a requirement for pain management. For many, conventional medication does not work. Often, the side-effects themselves are debilitating. We, the signers of the petition, request Jersey's government to recognize that cannabinoid products are an effective way for some sufferers to manage symptoms and alleviate pain. If a doctor is happy to prescribe, we ask the minister not to stand in the way, but to grant the relevant licenses, as she can do within her powers
