The Medical Innovation Bill, a controversial bill, that seeks to legalise cannabis for medicinal use has been proposed.

Cannabinoids — a chemical extracted from the cannabis plant is good for treating conditions like chronic headaches and severe pain as well as easing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, HIV&AIDS and even cancer. But others argue that cannabis is a gateway drug. So where do you stand on this topic?

In part one of our video series on the topic, we spoke to young people about the Medical Innovation Bill. In part two, we will carry on the conversation by speaking to experts as well as a medical cannabis user to get some informed inside info.
