Share your story

If you would be happy to share your story with us, then we want to hear from you. At Releaf, we believe that the most powerful way we can educate people about medical cannabis is through the voices of our patients.

Did you know?

It was the stories of individual patients and their journeys with medical cannabis that led to the change in law in 2018, allowing the first prescriptions of full spectrum cannabis-based medicines to be issues on the NHS.

There remain so many misunderstandings and a great deal of stigma when it comes to medical cannabis in the UK, we know that sharing the journeys of our patients is key when it comes to supporting others with deciding whether medical cannabis might be a suitable treatment option for them. That’s where you come in.

As humans, we like to learn from others because we feel inspired by them, because there is strength in numbers, and that’s something we’re naturally comforted by.

We want to champion our patient’s voices to diversity the conversation, covering all sorts of health conditions treatable with medical cannabis, by speaking to patients one on one about how their health, life, and overall wellbeing, has changed since becoming a Releaf patient.

Daisy’s Story: Prejudice, professionalism, and PTSD
