Dispelling the myths and raising awareness of the benefits of whole plant medical cannabis, as I fight for my son to receive an NHS prescription for Bedrolite.
It's medical cannabis awareness week!
DID YOU KNOW...?
Despite being made legal on prescription 5 yrs ago in the UK, you can *still* only really access cannabis via private health clinics.
Why is cannabis only considered a safe & effective medicine for those who can afford it?
@JoaniReid@ReidFoundation@HumzaYousaf Hi Joani this is helpful surprise can you send me your best email address please. Looking forward yo chatting to you, Lisa (Cole’s mum and East Kilbride resident)
Cole is now 11. 2 years on we are still no further forward. His life saving medicine is still not being provided by an nhs prescription, with no reasonable excuse given for this. We are not a 3rd world country @Montel_Williams@scotgov@HumzaYousaf@DrGregorSmith@JournoStephen
Montel talks with Lisa Quarrell. Her 8-year-old son, Cole, was diagnosed with a rare form of severe epilepsy as a baby and suffered up to 20 seizures a day. He tried 20 different anti-epileptic drugs before before he was prescribed cannabis

@suzanwking@UKLabour I’m so sorry that happened to you. Big changes are required to ensure that what is in law actually happens. I hope you have a much better day today.

@EnergyMGLTD donated a boiler and install for this prize draw (£10 to enter) to raise funds for Cole in his battle to gain an NHS prescription. Currently the private prescription costs £1.5K to keep him alive. Please share. @EKilbrideNews@epilepsy_scot

Today is Purple Day - National Epilepsy Awareness Day 2023
4 years on and I continue to campaign for access to Bedrolite through NHS. Raising awareness for this heartbreaking condition and the natural plant medicine that helps reduce or eliminate seizures 💜🌱#colescampaign
Members of the cross-party group on medicinal cannabis called on the Scottish Government to help break down the legal barriers facing desperate parents of children with drug resistant epilepsy @CStevensonSNP @lisaquarrell26

What is the highlight so far?
Teamwork, we are out helping in each other’s wards and enjoying it and that is what Labour is all about @AnasSarwar@ScottishLabour@RutherglenCLP @CllrMcadams
Busy day supporting @CllrCowie in Galloway Dr, Morar Dr and Kippford Way in Fernhill.
Lots of enthusiasm for Margaret on the #labourdoorstep.
Margaret is a stalwart of the community and will continue to stand up for ordinary people in Rutherglen South on her re-election. 🌹💪🏼
I have never been so angry. This leaflet is being put through letter boxes in Dumbarton. It is blatantly racist. Make no mistake this is a deliberate attack on Gurpreet Singh Johal, someone I am proud to call my friend, and the Labour candidate in the council elections 1/3
@GSJohal85@jackiebmsp@AnasSarwar My family and I stand in solidarity with you and yours. 🙌🏽❤️🌹 good luck with the rest of your campaign. You will be ace 🤩
