A CHARITY wants to hear from disabled people in the region who use cannabis for medical purposes.
Disability Now is conducting a survey into how widespread the use of the drug is as a pain reliever.
It will consider whether disabled people should have to wait for reliable and legal supplies if the Government does not decide in the immediate future to issue licences to doctors to prescribe cannabis.
Of 200 readers who responded to a Disability Now survey in 1997, 67 per cent had taken the drug for medical purposes and a quarter of respondents said their GP knew or approved.
