The English actor indulges in edibles, ointments, and sprays and says he hasn’t experienced one negative side effect from using the product.
“Two years ago, in Los Angeles, I was examined by a doctor and given a note which gave me legal permission to purchase, from a registered outlet, cannabis-based products, which I was advised might help the ortho-arthritis in both my hands,” shared Stewart. “This, it would seem, is a genetically-based condition. My mother had badly distorted and painful hands.”
The English actor explained that he uses the ointment at night and applies the spray to his fingers and joints several times each day. He noted that he has not experienced any negative side effects and that his stiff joints and pain have dramatically decreased since utilizing his medical marijuana card.
“I have had no negative side effects from this treatment and the alternative would have been to continue taking NSAID’s, Advil, Aleve and Naproxen, which are known to be harsh on the liver and to cause acid reflux,” Stewart said.
Addressing the misconception that marijuana is a “gateway” drug and more harmful than legalized substances such as alcohol, the actor stated:
“This is an important step forward for Britain in a field of research that has for too long been held back by prejudice, fear and ignorance. I believe this program of research might result in benefits for people like myself as well as millions of others.”
Stewart is one of 350 million people worldwide that suffers from arthritis. Perhaps as the plant is legalized for medical and recreational use elsewhere, more people will benefit from its numerous properties.

99% of "medical" marijuana patients were already using the drug before they received a note from their doctor. Now, it's possible that he is among the 1%, but I doubt it.
Think about it. You visit your doctor for some ailment, looking for relief. After the examination, blood test, etc., he leans back in his chair and says, "I think you should start smoking marijuana." Give me break, Sir Patrick.
Here's a guy who was knighted, now advocating the violation of federal drug laws in another country. Take away his title.

You recall his recent statements about being so offended to be staying overnight less than a thousand yards from the Trump WH, so much so that he intends to apply for American citizenship.
Seems to me that his open violation of federal drug laws (wrongheaded as they are) provides a perfect means for A.G. Sessions to object to his naturalization as a dual-citizen.
