Aimee Brown became the first documented individual in Ireland to receive a ministerial license allowing the use of cannabis for the treatment of chronic pain associated with her endometriosis. Her journey to reach this point was challenging and she met many frustrations on the way.
Aimee, faced hospitalisation for symptoms at the age of eight, three years before the onset of her menstrual cycle. Throughout her experience, she confronted medical gaslighting, highlighting the obstacles she encountered in seeking treatment for this condition. She has taken her lived experience and has become a strong advocate for others, empowering people to seek expert surgery and appropriate pain relief.
