Join Professor Mike Barnes for an evening of education on medical cannabis, with the opportunity for questions and answers.

Professor Barnes has been interested in the medical applications of cannabis since his involvement with GW Pharma in early 2000s and the progression of medical cannabis to market. Professor Barnes signed off the expert report to the MHRA and this report has been used, with more recent evidence, to establish medicinal cannabis now in over 30 countries.

​In May 2016, Professor Barnes was asked by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Drug Policy Reform to write a report on the evidence for medical cannabis. This was published in September 2016 and has been influential in progressing the medical cannabis debate in the UK, Channel Islands and Ireland.

​Professor Barnes has assisted the Irish parliament in that debate through discussion and lectures to the parliament.
