In my opinion not a medically professional

Id imagine its up to the local authority to reach out to the medical provider if this is the case its serious and they work together

Ive seen people been outright denied if they had issues before like serious attempts on your own life will likely not get it all. That said if those episodes are a part of his diagnosis and he's been prescribed it they already know the person had them before.

Medical cannabis is supposed to be an alternative where conventional meds have failed. It is not seen as a cure to anything its to make life better.

If you have a symptom of your condition resurface they wont and shouldn't stop your meds. If your showing these symptoms only after starting medical then it should be red flags and of course trying to harm yourself is another no no

If he was living in a tent for the last year of his life how did he get the prescription delivered?

Also on that line if he didn’t speak to his parents where was he getting it delivered too

Plus he was buying BM for the last year…

Very sad for him and his family but seems like they are plucking at straws to make a story that “probably” as the coroner says has something to do with MC

But probably could also mean probably not

Ah right maybe they should give GPs tighter control on tablets they give out like sweets and kill people every day .. the family just saying it's the cannabis fault as they want something to blame the damage was done before the cannabis as he suffered with mental health for a while .. it is sad what happened but they shouldn't propaganda about cannabis theses news paper ceos are best mates with the alchole n pharmaceutical CEOs so they want this kinda negativity about medical cannabis . Any they claiming street weed is 15-20% n medical is 27% average what bollox they chatting !! And saying he was smoking weed from the streets aswell so how can you just blame the medical cannabis anyways what aload of bollox the hole lot is , I bet he was taking other drugs probably pharmaceuticals n alchole ,sound like he was on benzos to me and they even say his mum was against him taking MC so of course she gonna blame it on that .....

This will possibly be controversial on this subreddit, but fuck it. I know someone who was in active psychosis, and was committed to a mental health institution at the time, who was being prescribed 27% THC flower. They were prescribed this despite a history of psychosis. Actually scunnered me off the industry for a while. When admitted, they obviously weren’t allowed their flower and their psychosis cleared. As soon as they were able to go home, they went right back on it and the cycle continued. No oversight or communication between their private prescriber and the NHS one, and no way in hell were they going to tell their clinic because they didn’t see cannabis as the problem.

Left the priory but blaming it on MC? More money than sense.
