Demonstration planned to urge government to expand access to medical cannabis

Alicia Maher and her husband Gerry in Spain; she moved to Spain in 2019 so she could access cannabis safely for the treatment of chronic pain, she has remained there because she cannot afford the cost of the drug here.

A demonstration will take place at the Department of Health tomorrow to urge government to expand access to medical cannabis for the treatment of chronic pain and other conditions. 

The demonstration is being organised by the Patients for Safe Access group amid concerns that people cannot afford the costs of medical cannabis and are often denied access.
