Mother of son who needs medicinal cannabis: Investors need to deploy their capital accordingly

Total investment in the medicinal cannabis sector across Europe is in excess of €1.2 billion pounds – 20% of which was raised in the first six months of 2021.

It opens a discussion on a growing acceptance and recognition of CBD and medicinal cannabis for its therapeutic benefits.

Charlotte Caldwell speaks to GB News as her son benefits from the use of medicinal cannabis.

    Why not 24hour coverage of migrant scandal pn Channel??????



  4. Sean Delap on May 26, 2022 at 10:38 pm

    Worse things than cannabis have been made legal so why is it a problem it comes from a plant after all.



  5. J B TV on May 26, 2022 at 10:38 pm

    They will let us get jabbed with poison but still against a plant? This shows how corrupt the medical profession is in UK.



  6. Daniel Rayner on May 26, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    I really dont understand why there is so much red tape concerning prescribing cannabis for medical purposes in this country when we subscribe opiates for medical reasons all the time



  7. Luke Mitchell on May 26, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    thanks for speaking up . bless her and her son. what arsholes put their thumbs down to this



  8. Mnd0vrMnky on May 26, 2022 at 10:44 pm

    Let the over 50’s grow it.
    Make it licensed, family and friends license, medical license, commercial limited growers license.
    No large corporations plz. Wealth extraction is a real problem.



  9. C F on May 26, 2022 at 10:45 pm

    This is medical grade cannabis. It’s made in a laboratory. It’s on prescription. This is not cannabis off the street. Street cannabis is bad for people. It causes mental health problems. Say no to drugs. It’s ruins lives, families & communities.



  10. Pemj on May 26, 2022 at 10:46 pm

    Bless this lady and Billy. Cannabis has a proven track record. Unlike a certain other . Unfortunately there would be little profit in Cannabis in this country so the government don’t care



  11. Martin on May 26, 2022 at 10:47 pm

    It should have been legalised a long time ago. The industry needs taking out of the hands of criminal gangs. It’s a lot safer if people can buy it in shops where they know what they’re purchasing. Tax the sales and put the money into drug education.



  12. Dan Emb on May 26, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    The odd thing here is that Cannabis as a medicine is readily jumped on by those that want it because they are addicted to it, they are not interested in it treating people like this child but want to use it as a way of fulfilling there need .I’ve seen lots of cases were this habit I is brain destroying.



  13. Matthew Smith on May 26, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    Cannabis is a natural drug, it’s fine to be used for medical purposes.



  14. Tonya Burrus on May 26, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    Big Pharma doesn’t want it legalized because it takes away from their profits and they own the politicians in both UK & USA



  15. Gareth Scott on May 26, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    GB news I applaud you. You let her actually speak and get her point across I am in tears writing this .

  17. Squidgy on May 26, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    Behind the British Sugar site in Wissington it’s a huge cannabis farm with investors including MPs and their relatives
    But it’s mostly exported



  18. Hardcore cheddar on May 26, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    I hope she and her son are helped right away not when it’s to late



  19. Chris Bennett on May 26, 2022 at 10:59 pm

    Legalise it and put the drug dealing scumbags out of business



  20. cocteau Jackson on May 26, 2022 at 11:01 pm

    The UK should legalise Weed and make money while reducing crime. Obviously, its a lot more complex but a Royal commission at least.



  21. Clive Chuckles on May 26, 2022 at 11:03 pm

    GBN need to get Charlotte Caldwell on for a full interview.



  22. andrew on May 26, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    Should be legal for all adults. No government should control what you put in your body, least of all, a plant.



  23. americans0are0pussys on May 26, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    The problem for the NHS is so many people use cannabis to manage their pain they can’t afford to take them all on as prescription meds.



  24. English on May 26, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    Recreational dope should be legal too create the coffee shops for the uk, pubs are dead.



  25. DD p on May 26, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    Grow ure own I do oops



  26. Lost Avatar on May 26, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    This natural herb has been used for hundreds, maybe thousands of years and we know the long / short term effects and their side effects can be beneficial in many ways. It’s morally criminal to withhold and not regulate this properly.



  27. Rebilionistheanswer on May 26, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    Yet they will force people to be jabbed to stop this BS cough.
    They will kill this child just because they can’t make money off it.
    They hand out morphine like sweets.
    It got the noggin joggin.



  28. Peter smith on May 26, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Medical cannabis is horrible though to smoke we need real cannabis lol



  29. Aaron Mason on May 26, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    All cannabis should be legal. The fact its not shows how much of a dictatorship we live in.



  30. Me Me on May 26, 2022 at 11:20 pm

    did you no hypocrisy of all this was done when Teresa may was pm and she rejected this , guess what here husband Phillip may invests in and has shares inn, growing cannabis oil plants same thing….



  31. André Reloaded on May 26, 2022 at 11:20 pm

    Playing politics with a medicine is so backwards. Every substance can be abused ffs but cannabis really does have numerous medical uses and the ‘side effects’ are usually hunger and sleep – if you’re using the real thing.



  32. Pi99ie on May 26, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    This could be a real business to help grow the middle class just like the great British institution the pub.

    We all know though that in 2021 we will be sold out by our governing class to huge American corporations



  33. Steve Fox on May 26, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    Lost 10 years of my life on prescription opiates after breaking my back. Stopped & switched to cannabis many years ago and haven’t needed any further help since. Couldn’t care less about the law, it’s not kept illegal for our benefit but for big Pharmaceutical companies and back handers to MPs. Anyone who hasn’t tried it is clueless and has no right to tell others what they can & can’t do.



  34. MrB1923 on May 26, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    Only the corporations want cannabis illegal.



  35. PartyTimeNinja on May 26, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    No medicine should be out of reach from a medical professional trained to prescribe it.



  36. sperz35 on May 26, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    The legality doesn’t stop me. Most police departments have de-prioritised users and spend time going for suppliers anyway.



  37. Craig Duncan on May 26, 2022 at 11:31 pm

    Is it actual bud the NHS can prescribe? Or only THC extract etc- pharmaceutical concoctions of THC and maybe some other CBD oils?



  38. XanderJ82 on May 26, 2022 at 11:32 pm

    Cannabis doesn’t cure epilepsy



  39. Paul Keating on May 26, 2022 at 11:32 pm

    Give these people their medicine!

    If you’ve ever witnessed someone have a basic seizure from start to finish you’d understand, not just the seizure, the aftermath and recovery. The first time you see just the seizure it is utterly shocking. The first time that person confides in you and asks for mid seizure help in future it is utterly terrifying. The first time you care for them from start to finish it is utterly depressing, that they have to live with that experience at all, and the fear of it on a daily basis.

    Give these people their medicine!
