The Simpa Life Ep 79: Clark French

In this episode of the Martins World Podcast I had the pleasure of  interviewing Clark French the founder of the UPA. We get to talk about  why and when Clark started campaigning for medicinal Cannabis , some of  his most memorable moments campaigning and some of whats to come in the  UK regarding medicinal cannabis, including the "Cancard".    "Clark French is an MS patient who treats his symptoms with cannabis.  Clark has replaced all pharmaceutical drugs saving the NHS up to £30,000  a year. Founder of the United Patients Alliance, Clark campaigns  tirelessly for access to cannabis as a medicine. The United Patients  alliance seeks to advance legal access to cannabis therapeutics in the  UK. The United Patients Alliance was founded to represent the interests  of these patients and to call attention to the injustice of prosecuting  individuals for treating their chronic conditions with cannabis. Some of  the most vulnerable members of our society face up to fourteen years in  prison for consuming a medicine that is legal across North America and  Europe"

Martins World Episode 8: Clark French on medical cannabis in the UK

Leila Simpson

#005 – In this episode I meet Clark French and Leila Simpson from the United Patients Alliance (UPA). The organisation are a patients advocacy group who campaign for better access to medical cannabis in both the private and public health sectors. Some of the things Clark And Leila discuss in the episode include: - The UPA was founded in 2014 by Caroline Lucas and Professor David Nutt to raise awareness for medical cannabis. The organisation aims to support patients that use cannabis. The UPA is a support and advocacy group. - Currently there is no funding available for medical cannabis on the NHA as CCGs can't afford cannabis. A few private prescriptions are starting to happen, but are still quite rare. The cost for a private prescription is over 3x the street price for cannabis so many patients cannot afford it. - Some patients have said they can grow their own cannabis instead of paying for it privately. However this is not legal in the UK. - Carly's Barton a fellow patient, has an Amnesty campaign called 'Carly's Amnesty' to allow medical cannabis users to grow up to 9 plants for personal use. However, patients still encounter problems with the authorities and Carly's home was visited by the police and items related to the personal grow confiscated - There is a challenge in providing clinical evidence to satisfy NICE/ the medical establishment to show that Cannabis is safe. They require a body of evidence and the UPA are trying to help produce that body of evidence. - Stigma can still cause medicinal cannabis users problems with landlords and neighbours. - There is urgency as according to Clark patients as advocates are the 'Frontline of the battle.'
