Britain's MS Society calls for herbal cannabis to be legal for patients

The MS Society, which in the 1990s had refused to press for access to herbal cannabis, changed its position and called for it to be legalised for medicinal use by people with multiple sclerosis. The cannabis-based spray Sativex was licensed but not available on the health service except in Wales.[1]
