"We would like a discussion in this country about the fact that medical cannabis has been legal for six years. Nobody knows it. The general public remains completely ignorant of it."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) James Smith, chief revenue officer, 4C Labs:
"Every medical cannabis patient that enters this system is one step closer to what will eventually be a regulated, controlled, legal recreational market in this country. Maybe it's going to take 10 or 15 years, but it eventually will come. There's too much money. The cost of prohibition is too high, and the toxicology of that product is far below many other legal substances."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Professor Jim Mills, professor of modern history, University of Strathclyde:
"I think there remains a suspicion, there remains a confusion in the general public between issues related to medicinal cannabis and issues related to recreational cannabis. And often these become tangled up. I also think that the NHS does not welcome cannabis medicines of the future for a whole set of reasons. And for that, and I think understanding that context, explains why MPs and governments don't see votes in the cannabis issue."

"That's what I see, that cannabis can do in helping manage your pain, your mental health, your sleeping disorders, your PTSD, sometimes very many cases, it's combinations. Because if you're in pain, you don't sleep very well. So you get sleeping disorders. If you don't sleep, you start worrying. If you worry, you get anxiety. So it's not like it's a snake oil that treats everything. But once you start treating one or two of those things, the others also improve."
