Tipperary chronic pain sufferer: Buying cannabis on black market makes me feel dirty

Woman who has suffered pain for 20 years calls for drug to be available legally to patients in off-licences and dispensaries

Patients for Safe Access says the goal of its conference is to create a patient-led national policy agenda and empower grassroots advocacy.

A Tipperary woman who uses cannabis for chronic pain says having to buy the drug on the black market makes her feel dirty and she wants it to be legal for people in her position to use it.

Aimee Brown from Roscrea is one of the speakers at a conference being held in Dublin on Saturday by the group Patients for Safe Access (PFSA).
