The legalisation of two cannabis-based medicines is a great step forward for those who use the drug to help relieve pain. The medicines will be used to treat epilepsy as well as multiple sclerosis.

However, some people say that it doesnt go far enough and that there are still thousands of people suffering from different conditions who would benefit from legalisation.

There is an alternative for those who still don’t have access to Medical Cannabis such as CBD products.

CBD is the chemical in Cannabis which can reduce pain unlike THC which is the chemical which gives the high sensation. 

These CBD products can be found in shops on the Highstreet such as Holland and Barret and Boots.

There are also independent shops which specialise in these products which are popping up all over West Yorkshire.
