I am currently on 60mg of Codeine 4 x a day (on bad days, I can usually manage with less) as well as paracetamol and Naproxen. Add in my sleep meds, anxiety meds, stomach meds and they could save a fortune!

What really upsets me is that a shittonne of medical grade cannabis is grown in the UK, but it all - or at least most of it - is exported.

Those must play havoc with your stomach as well! It was actually being on naproxenn that gave the final motivation to try and get medical. I think they need you to have proven you've tried two types of medications for your symptons, and since co-codamol was a no, naproxenn giving me hella heartburn was pretty much all the justification they need in order to prescribe medicinal.

And aye, it's British Sugar as well that grows it! Mental.
