  • Hi cuddles2001,

    A big welcome to Cancer Chat! This is a great place to talk to others who may also be in a similar situation to you.

    To answer your question, yes cannabis oil is illegal. Our nurses commented recently on a similar post from someone who was also asking for more information on cannabis oil and this is what they wrote:

    "There has been a lot of interest on the internet and in the press about cannnabis oil.  But at the moment it isn't known how helpful it might turn out to be in treating cancer and it isn't readily available as a cancer treatment.  We have a blog post which sums up the research so far which you might find helpful to look at. You can read this here: scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/.../. It might also be helpful to give our nurses a call on freephone 0808 800 4040 too. Do get in touch if you want to talk things through."

    We hope this helps!

    Best wishes,
