George, 47, suffers from Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a progressive, incurable neuropathic disease. After battling depression, addiction and other negative side effects from opiate-based prescribed medicines, he turned to cannabis as an alternative.
George says that cannabis is the only medicine that helps him with the physical and emotional symptoms of his disease. He spends his days as an active campaigner for change within UK law so that he, and others like him, are not forced to break the law to find relief with cannabis medicine.
