Drug Science, an independent, science-led drugs charity, is launching Project TWENTY21, a national medical cannabis pilot, with the aim of soon providing medical cannabis to patients in the UK.

In the first instance, the Pilot will be targeting the following patients and situations, specifically focusing on times in which alternative treatment has failed:

Chronic pain;
PTSD, with a focus on the veteran community;
Multiple sclerosis;
Tourette’s syndrome;
Prison populations as a harm reduction strategy; and
Cannabis use disorder and substance use disorder as a harm reduction strategy.

The poll, carried out by Survation at the start of a major Standard investigation into cannabis reform, is the first test of public opinion since medical cannabis was legalised in the UK last November.

Customers presenting at two retail cannabis dispensaries in Colorado, where cannabis is legal for both medical and recreational use, were invited by store staff to take part in the survey. Respondents who possessed a medical marijuana card, which allows the holder to purchase more of the drug than those without, were excluded.

Prohibition movements began in the 1920s and by the mid 1930s, cannabis was regulated as a drug in every state. It was then outlawed for use of any kind with the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.
