Why are doctors still refusing to prescribe cannabis?

Medical cannabis is technically legal in the UK, but that does not mean you can get it. For thousands of children with epilepsy, this can be a matter of life and death.

We talk about what is stopping cannabis prescriptions, and why there is cause for hope.
