UK Government Home Secretary Sajid Javid confirmed that doctors in Wales, England and Scotland will be able to prescribe cannabis from November 1.

Cannabis has been upgraded by the UK Government to a Schedule 2, allowing doctors on the specialist register of the General Medicine Council to prescribe it.

Javid said via a statement: “I have been clear that my intention was always to ensure that patients have access to the most appropriate course of medical treatment.”

“I stressed the importance of acting swiftly to ensure that where medically appropriate, these products could be available to be prescribed to patients.

“I have been clear that this should be achieved at the earliest opportunity whilst ensuring that the appropriate safeguards were in place to minimise the risks of misuse and diversion.”

Setting out the new regulations, Mr Javid said: “This brings these products explicitly into the existing medicines framework.

“These regulations are not an end in themselves. The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) will be conducting a long-term review of cannabis and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has been commissioned to provide advice for clinicians by October next year.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
