Doctors accuse Britain's first medical cannabis clinic of making unfounded claims over pain relief

Doctors accuse Britain's first medical cannabis clinic of making unfounded claims over pain relief Britain’s first dedicated medical cannabis clinic has been accused by doctors of making unfounded claims for the drug’s pain-relieving qualities.

The private Medical Cannabis Clinic (MCC) opened in Manchester last week amid complaints that patients have been denied access to the drug by the NHS. Further branches are scheduled for Birmingham and London’s Harley Street.

The MCC website claims the drug can help with chronic pain, but guidelines issued by the Royal College of Physicians state ‘there is no robust evidence’ for such use. The Daily Mail
