UK: This Morning fans call for cannabis to be legalised after woman claims it cured her cancer

Joy Smith was given six weeks to live and is now in remission.

This Morning fans have been calling for cannabis to be legalised after a woman on today's (March 13) show claimed it cured cancer.

In July 2016, Joy Smith was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was later given six weeks to live in August 2017 after being told it had spread to her stomach and bowels. However, she is now in remission and claims that cannabis oil cured her terminal disease.

Cannabis oil, containing the nutritional supplement cannabidiol, is legal in the UK, but Joy also used THC, which is illegal. She used the cannabis tablets alongside her chemotherapy treatment and now believes cannabis should be legalised for medicinal purposes.

"It's the THC which eats the cancer. I don't know why they won't legalise it when it's fine in other countries. People are worse when they're drunk," she argued.

And This Morning fans watching her tell her story seemed to be in agreement, as some shared their own stories of cannabis oil helping them.

"I have Multiple Sclerosis and my treatment costs the NHS thousands. Cannabis is proven to help and needs to be legalised but heavily regulated. Only given to those with chronic/life threatening conditions," one viewer argued.

Last year, EastEnders legend Pam St Clement revealed she supported the legalisation of marijuana after the impact it's had on her own life.

"I have two friends who both suffer from MS – they were forced into growing their own because they couldn't get any relief any other way," she explained.

"You shouldn't have to be forced to break the law, but when you're desperate what are you going to do? The only way to control it, I presume, is to make it legal."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
