Elaine Levy reveals she had to sell her home so she could afford private prescriptions for medical cannabis to treat her adult daughter's epilepsy.
Elaine Levy had to sell her flat to pay for medical cannabis for her daughter Fallon The families of people suffering from chronic illnesses are calling on the government to fund more research into medical cannabis.
"In the end I couldn't keep up with the mortgage payments, it was like paying more than a mortgage, so in the end I actually did sell my home. Dr Simon Erridge, head of research and access at Sapphire Medical Clinics in London, said:"At the moment in those conditions where we've seen the most promise - things like mental health, chronic pain, sleep disorders - we haven't had that right type of research that can convince regulators and clinicians in the NHS for it to be prescribed on a population basis, across all people with those conditions.
"We have never seen the money, we have never had a meeting since with the government. They have basically ignored us."
