YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

She's believed to be the first person to receive a prescription for cannabis in the UK.

Now Carly Barton has described her relief that she can take the drug without fear of repercussions.

Carly suffers constant pain after a stroke in her 20s. She was prescribed the cannabis medicine by the only kind of doctor who can do so - a specialist consultant - but it does come at a hefty cost.

Sky's Lorna Shaddick reports.
