I have been contacted by some constituents asking me to
intervene with the Prime Minister and Home Secretary and secure the return of
medical cannabis to Emma Appleby.
While I have sympathy with the family in this case, I am
unable to get involved with ongoing legal matters, nor regarding people who are
not constituents living in the area I represent.
Cannabis is available by prescription for medical reasons in
the UK but this rightly strictly controlled and regulated, with eligibility
determined by doctors on a case by case basis.
If people have chosen to circumvent the system and travel
abroad to purchase it, then they have to be prepared to face border security on
their return.
