Dr Simon Erridge: The story of Medical Cannabis in the UK, from truth to misconceptions, 7 years on.

In this episode of Koggno Stories, I interview and Dr. Simon Erridge explore how far cannabis-based medicine has come since 2018, but also how far we still have to go.

We discuss the realities of prescribing cannabis-based medical products, the difference between medical cannabis and high-street CBD, and why confusion, stigma, and regulation still hold patients back from accessing treatment.

• The UK’s journey since medical cannabis legalisation

• How cannabis-based medicines differ from opioids and traditional pain relief

• The role of cannabis in pain management, psychiatry and neurology

• What the latest research and patient data are revealing

  
  

  Whether you’re a clinician, patient, or just curious about the science behind medical cannabis, this conversation will leave you more informed — and more curious — about the future of prescribing in the UK.

  Follow, rate, and share to help us grow the conversation and bring clarity to one of the most misunderstood areas of modern medicine.
