A woman living with endometriosis in Tipperary is believed to be the first to receive a ministerial licence for cannabis prescription to treat pain associated with this condition.

Aimee Brown, who is expecting her first legal cannabis delivery on Friday, said: “I’m still pinching myself, and the fact that now I can open the door for others and empower them to follow this path is incredible.”
