Since the medical use of marijuana was legalised last year, the government have been on the hunt to keep costs down as few people could afford to sign up for the pharmacy scheme…

The price of pharmacy-bought weed imported from Holland currently costs up to 10 times as much as street prices at around 38 euros per gram.

“When I have the money, I buy it from the pharmacy but, since I’m not a millionaire, I often arrange to buy it for 5 euros a gram,” she added.
