Summary
We think patients prescribed 'CBPM' by a medical specialist should be allowed to maintain 3-6 flowering plants (with extra considerations for starting new seedlings). 'GYO' registration database could be maintained via local council, notifying police of local medical grows – similar to Canadian setup. There are 45,000 legal medical cannabis patients across the UK, prescribed primarily bud/flower or refined oil extracts. Some patients face severe financial difficulty affording their prescription. Many patients are unable to work, and are forced to turn to cheaper illicit sources due to affordability. "Grow Your Own" is available to cannabis patients in many other countries for this very reason, and we think must also be considered in the UK via a change to Home Office licensing/scheduling.
