A A woman reportedly received the first ever private cannabis order for medical use in the UK after the law change was feared to be stopped after she was unable to pay the cost of ongoing treatment

Carly Barton, 32, "frustrated", says she used the culture and illegal purchase of the drug that had been legally prescribed.

She uses it to cope with the pain that she suffers from fibromyalgia, as a result of a stroke that she had in her early twenties.

Mrs. Barton, of Brighton, would have been one of the first people to legally access cannabis as a result of a law change last year.

He had been prescribed medical cannabis through a private pain specialist, but that order had cost him about £ 1,300 a month, which was erasing his savings.

The former lecturer at the university said he managed to get an NHS prescription pending approval from a medical council. But this was rejected because it's an untested drug.

Ms. Barton said, "I will openly break the law until I can get access to my medication or they give me some kind of exemption.

"I do not consider myself a criminal.There are two doctors who prescribed me and there is now a vague law that does not seem to consider it as a potential drug."
