Medicinal Cannabis for Childhood Cancers

The Issue

Cannabis has been proven in the laboratory to kill cancer cells and there are numerous stories of children who have seen their tumours shrink whilst using it.

The current legal status means that parents are having to resort to unregulated means to try and help save their children.

This means that they often don’t get the right medicine that they need. Giving them access to medicinal cannabis will mean more parents can do more to help save their children.

For an example of just one case of an element of cannabis being used on a childhood brain tumour and for more information on the campaign please go to Make William Well
