I-cannabis yezokwelapha yasemthethweni eBrithani ngo-2018, kodwa namanje ayitholakali ku-National Health Service. Kusho ukuthi ukwenziwa ngokusemthethweni kwenze umehluko omncane ezigulini ezingakwazi ukukhokhela incwadi yangasese emtholampilo.
Eminyakeni emihlanu ngemuva kokuba insangu yokwelapha isemthethweni, uhulumeni akakazixhasi izivivinyo zomtholampilo ezingaholela ekusetshenzisweni kwe-NHS, kutshelwe iSky News. UMnyango Wezangaphakathi uye insangu yahlelwa kabusha ngo-2018 ukuze odokotela abangochwepheshe bakwazi ukuyinquma ngaphansi kokulawulwa okuqinile.
Ukuntuleka kocwaningo lwe-cannabis
Ngemva konyaka, i-NHS watchdog yaxwayisa odokotela ukuthi banganikezi insangu yokwelapha ezigulini eziyizigidi eziyisishiyagalombili ezinobuhlungu obungapheli ngoba zazingekho izivivinyo zomtholampilo ezisezingeni eliphezulu. Yize bungekho ubufakazi, iNational Institute for Health Research manje isiveze ukuthi ayikaze ixhase noma yiluphi ucwaningo mayelana nokuphepha nokusebenza kahle kwensangu selokhu kwashintshwa umthetho. Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-cannabis ayitholakali ezigulini eziningi. I-cannabis yezinga lezokwelapha manje ibiza kakhulu, kodwa kungase kudingeke uzame ezigulini eziningi ezinezimo ezingamahlalakhona.
IHhovisi Lasekhaya lixwayisa ngokuthi ukusetshenziswa njalo kwensangu kungaholela ekuthembeleni nasezinkingeni zempilo yengqondo. Ukuzama ukunikeza ubufakazi obuqinile bokusetshenziswa komuthi, i-Celadon Pharmaceuticals manje yethula isilingo sokuqala somtholampilo sohlobo lwayo ezigulini eziyi-5.000 ezinobuhlungu obungapheli.
Itshala izitshalo ze-cannabis emakamelweni akhethekile, lapho ukukhanya, umswakama, izinga lokushisa kanye nezakhamzimba kungalawulwa ngokunembile ukuze kukhiqizwe izimbali eziqukethe inani elibikezelwe lezinto ezisebenzayo. Ngokungafani neminye imithi ye-cannabis, izitshalo ze-Celadon ziqukethe ikhemikhali ye-psychoactive i-THC, nakuba ingamazinga aphansi kakhulu ukukhiqiza okuphezulu.

Umsebenzi wethu awukona ukuthola abantu phezulu, kodwa ukubanikeza izinga lempilo elingcono.”
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba unqunywe, kufanele futhi ulawulwe njengomuthi. Njengengxenye yocwaningo, iziguli zithola imiqumbe yensangu egayiwe ku-inhaler ekhethekile eletha umthamo onqunyiwe kuphela. Ukuhlolwa kugunyazwe I-Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) kanye neKomidi Lezimiso Zokucwaninga le-NHS. Ukugunyazwa kulandele ucwaningo lokuqala lweziguli ezingama-500, oluthole ukuthi i-cannabis inciphisa isidingo samaphilisi ezinhlungu e-opioid futhi yathuthukisa ukulala.
