Oliver Robinson struggled with depression and addiction, ultimately taking his own life in November 2023. An inquest found that his prescription for medicinal cannabis likely contributed to his death and hindered his access to proper psychiatric care. His family believes this is the first ruling of its kind, prompting his brother, Alexander, to campaign for stricter regulations on UK private cannabis clinics. The campaign aims to prevent harm to others by restricting prescriptions for patients with serious mental health issues.
