UK government to fund medical cannabis and CBD for UK military veterans

The Issue

Tier One Health is dedicated to improving U.K. military veterans’ quality of life by government-funded access to cannabis. We believe medical cannabis saves lives, CBD can change lives, and that veterans have earned and deserve UK government funded access.

We will change the perception of cannabis in respect to its healing power by:

• Educating politicians, the veteran community and the wider population about the value of cannabis (medical & CBD) in how it can benefit our people. To eliminate the stigma of cannabis.

• Advocating on behalf of veterans’ access and show that there is a voice shouting for them in respect to cannabis.

• Supporting veterans and their families to understand the value of cannabis,

• Mobilising the 2.4 million veteran community, their families and the wider UK population and signpost them to a journey of healing.

The UK’s prolonged military conflicts over the last 60 years, amplified in the last 20 have exposed the gaps in how we treat our veterans for the type and severity of the latest round of war-related injuries. Those with PTSD are often placated with ‘cocktails’ of prescription drugs, including antidepressants and sometimes powerful and addictive opiates. The current methodology is not helping those who are the most vulnerable – sadly, service related suicides are still occurring but with far less media and political attention.

Our message is a simple one: Medical cannabis saves lives & CBD can change lives, both need funding by the UK government – Veterans deserve funded access
