They made me feel very distant and detached. I wasn\u2019t able to communicate with people very well at all and I used to feel very nauseous most of the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was able to get away from that with medical cannabis. The fentanyl I was previously on was nowhere near as effective as a painkiller as medical cannabis has been.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CH: How did you find out about Project Twenty21?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>MT:<\/strong> I found out about it through another medical cannabis advocate, who I was introduced to through my local MP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CH: How have you benefited from medical cannabis?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>MT:<\/strong> Medical cannabis has certainly changed my life for the better. I\u2019ve been able to come off medications that severely impacted how I was able to participate in daily activities. Even things as simple as communicating with my kids and my wife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We play board games, I help them with their homework a lot more; my head is so much cleaner and pain is reduced incredibly. I would say 50 percent of my pain has gone from my first two inhales of medical cannabis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wouldn&#8217;t be able to sit in this room on this particular chair without medical cannabis. There&#8217;s only one chair that I could sit in for more than 10 minutes and it cost \u00a3400.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference in my life is remarkable.\u00a0 I feel like me again, as if I\u2019ve come back from a long sleep. I wasn&#8217;t me for a good 10 years, to the point where I was using SSRI medications for depression, which I am currently coming off at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CH: What do you think needs to change for patients?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>MT:<\/strong> Medical cannabis needs to become available for more patients, as it can help with a range of medical conditions, as I&#8217;m sure will become apparent from the results of Project 2021 when they come out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think many people just simply don&#8217;t understand medical cannabis as a medicine. They are afraid of stories that they\u2019ve heard over the years. Misinformation claiming that it can make people psychotic, it can make people become violent or dangerous. And that is simply not the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s a doctor there alongside you during the project to make sure that you can take the medicine appropriately and it is helping your condition.They&#8217;re extremely helpful for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope that many other patients do go ahead and sign up to come on board the project because it will help with regards to fully accepting medical cannabis in the UK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Find out more about joining Project Twenty21 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugscience.org.uk\/project-twenty21-medical-cannabis-patients\/\">here<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Drug Science\u2019s Project Twenty21 is a landmark scheme that seeks to widen access to medicinal cannabis and build Europe&#8217;s largest body of evidence for its efficacy.
