Families4Access

Families 4 Access is an advocacy group campaigning for access to medicinal cannabis. We represent parents of UK children, like Charlotte Caldwell & many others.

The family was prescribed by a paediatric neurologist at the Erasmus Hospital in Rotterdam, collected it from a pharmacy and paid using their own and fundraised money.

Teagan's medicine was confiscated at the airport, upon return.

We are devastated.

The case for legalising cannabis:
1) Protect teenagers from harm caused by high potent strains available NOW in criminal market
2) Combat extreme violence linked to criminal market, most affecting poorest communities
3) Undermine organised crime which makes billions

“Every day he doesn’t act on it is a day of interminable suffering for mothers like me."

"Parents have found they cannot easily access the medicines without paying thousands of pounds for an import licence."

As the number of cases such as this escalate it becomes more imperative that @NHSEngland publish the review of medicinal cannabis prescribing processes commissioned on 9 April. Still no confirmation of when @DHSCgovuk will release it https://t.co/qciWk7Qyxf

[Cannabis Patient Advocacy & Support Services @CannPass]

UPDATE on @NHSEngland prescribing process review and @NICEComms CBMP guidelines: Publication of both appears to have been postponed until next week: 5th August 2019

We wish to express our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Riley.

A child who has lost his life to a seizure. A family who has been campaigning for the right to choose to try cannabis as a treatment to help their child manage his condition.

We are so sorry.

[Cannabis Patient Advocacy & Support Services @CannPass]

Since the law was changed in 2018, parents have found they cannot easily access the medicines without paying thousands of pounds for an import licence.

Media alert & call out: @CannPASS is seeking patients who have been trying, or have failed, to get a prescription via the NHS?

Patients are to be willing to share their story with the @BBCNews

Email [email protected], subject line: My Story for BBC.

[Cannabis Patient Advocacy & Support Services @CannPass]

Media Call Out: The @TheSun has reported that families homes are being visited by authorities in the news of parents and carers administrating CBMP's to control their children's seizures. Is this familiar? Are you happy to share your story?

It is unfair on patients and their families if they are asked to wait years for research to be conducted and for clinicians to prescribe.

Former police officer never imagined she would break the law - but this year she began smuggling a cannabis product into Scotland.

Despite the law change, [parents] have been unable to get a prescription on the NHS.

Many people don't realise that by supporting someone with a mental health problem, they can be considered a carer.

This #CarersWeek, we're reminding ourselves that it's important to look after yourself too. > https://t.co/TC1n4UVqqx

[Tonia Antoniazzi @ToniaAntoniazzi]
