MEET PROF. MIKE BARNES
Consultant Neurologist and leading cannabis clinician, for over 20 years Professor Mike Barnes has been at the forefront of medical cannabis in the UK and now share his wealth of knowledge with Serena Organics community as their trusted Scientific Advisor.
In 2016, his report titled "Cannabis - The Evidence for Medical Use" gained significant influence and was credited with advancing the discussion on medical cannabis in the UK, Channel Islands, and Ireland. As a result, on November 1, 2018, the UK Government reclassified cannabis, permitting specialist doctors to prescribe it legally. Prior to this, Prof Barnes had written the first NHS prescription for medical cannabis for Alfie Dingley, who suffers from a rare form of epilepsy, through a shared care agreement earlier that year.
