My latest for The Mirror! Can cannabis help the 1 in 3 people in the U.K. suffering from PTSD?

Medical cannabis could be used as cure for PTSD as patient 'given her life back'

Supplying mushrooms can get you life in prison. LIFE!!! The same sentence you might get for the most serious case of murder. Most of the people I've met who supply mushrooms are literally the nicest human beings you could imagine and are doing so to help others.

I feel really sad that I can’t just pop to a dispensary to pick up some amazing cannabis to help me deal with this horrendous cold. I feel almost sadder (not quite) that so many people don’t realise how much cannabis can help when you feel like crap! You’d love it, trust.

10mg?! 🤣 good luck seeing any results with that. Most studies exploring the benefits of CBD use 100s of mg per dose.

CBD oil can be great, but one thing I find it does NOT help with? Menstrual cramps. Excellent for mood side of PMS, but not pain. THC + hot water bottle, however, works brilliantly. For those at the back: CBD does not cure all. THC is an incredibly therapeutic cannabinoid!

Anyone posting judgey comments about Harry sharing his experiences and his use of cannabis and psychedelics to treat his trauma is an absolute dick and that's really all I have to say on the matter.
