Extract:
he use of medicinal forms of cannabis continues to be very restricted in Ireland in spite of moves to permit their use in limited circumstances.
Minister for Health Simon Harris commissioned a report from the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) to examine the scientific evidence on medicinal cannabis, which accepted benefits from taking medicinal cannabis for certain conditions.
After its findings were published in February 2017, the Minister announced he would implement the HPRA recommendation that cannabis-based products be made available to some patients with multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, and those suffering nausea in chemotherapy.
Restricted use, however, still applies in Ireland compared to other parts of the world – notably the United States, Canada and Australia where certified medical products are available in many instances.
