[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 5795708, member: 54866"] What the active ingredient is or whether it is illegal or not is all largely irrelevant. Big pharma can produce it far cheaper than any other nefarious source and it will be a known, unadulterated source and more importantly, licensed source. They can do this because trained chemists will work out ways of manufacturing the active ingredient in a very efficient, mass production process in a controlled process. If they can make [U]medical grade morphine[/U] available for less than £5 for 300ml, a bit of something derived from cannabis oil should be no sweat. GPs aren't going to be allowed to prescribe anything that is not approved by the trust in question, certainly not for a drug with such spectacular side effects and with the potential for it to be abused, there is a huge legal framework in place to provide drugs to patients in a safe and controlled way. It is not there simply to be driven over head-long because patients think they know better. Legalising cannabis and making it legal to prescribe the active ingredient in drug for are two entirely different things. It is already illegal to abuse many prescription medications, and for good reason. I am in favour of making the active ingredient in cannabis available for medicinal purposes, recognising that it does indeed show promise in a lot of situations where alternatives may be more problematic or less effective. I am not in favour of just giving society a carte blanche to do whatever they like. Cannabis is a huge problem for society as it is, due to the health effects it has. These effect are probably justifiable for patients presenting with cases of chronic pain or in end of life situations, but I would question how wise it would be to allow unrestricted cannabis use to society in view of the huge costs that would result from battling the inevitable decline of the mental health of people using it long term. Arguments like: 'the law can't stop people taking it' or; 'it should be legal because it is not addictive' are utterly nonsensical; if that logic is all that is required to legalise a potent medication then I have a list of my own requirements I want to be able to buy from the pharmacist of my own volition: sleeping pills, barbiturates and also fentanyl would suit me down to the ground can we legalise them as well?
