I would also like to thank those Members who have reorganised their diaries and travelling arrangements to be here today. I would like to thank the Backbench Business Committee for supporting me in bringing this debate forward today. Many are full-time carers, with all the pressure and time constraints that that entails, yet they have found the time and the commitment to energise a campaign-a campaign that far too many politicians and medical professionals have turned a blind eye to.

I would like to start by paying tribute to the mums and dads, brothers and sisters, grandparents, guardians, extended families and friends who have campaigned diligently, respectfully and passionately to bring about the reform in access to medical cannabis that they so desperately desire. Has considered the matter of the use of medical cannabis for the alleviation of health conditions.
