A guest on This Morning has admitted to being high on cannabis during a live interview.
Carly Barton told presenters Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes how after suffering a stroke at 24 she developed fibromyalgia - a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body.
She said that she grows her own and has told police about it after courses of opiate medicines like morphine and fentanyl failed to mask her suffering.
Ruth asked if she had had to take cannabis to get to the show today, without hesitation, Carly answered yes.

The 32-year-old is now pushing for a new law to allow patients with chronic conditions to grown their own cannabis so that they can live their pain-free.
She said: "The pain I feel is really hard to put into words. It can feel like a burning sensation, being aware of all your bones, but they are like hot pokers.
"It can also be muscle spasms or I can be stuck in one position for hours.
"I was taking fentanyl and morphine every day, but it wouldn't work. I have had the neighbour complain about my screams of pain."

Carly explained to Ruth and Eamonn how cannabis treats pain differently.
She said: "Opiates only mask the pain.
"We all have an endocannabinoid system in our bodies, and these receptors clam down anything out of whack in the body and brings balance."
Carly said when she first smoked cannabis her pain was reduced to nothing within five minutes and how she was forced to buy from dealers, putting herself in vulnerable positions meeting dealers in car parks at night while trying to walk on two walking sticks.
She added: "Street cannabis is full of contaminants, there has been research that has found paracetamol and heroin in it."

This is why she began growing her own and told her local police station she was doing it.
Now she wants a register under Carly's Law to allow thousands of other patients to grow their own and manage their own pain.
She said: "It is a project that looks to legalise growing cannabis for medicinal reasons.

"It would allow patients to register the plants, with solid medical evidence.
"It would be under the nine-plant limit, which is deemed for personal use.
"All we want is access to safe medication."
Fans of the show felt Carly had got her point across well, one said: "Good on her for proposing that some measures get put in place. She seems like a woman with a solid head on her shoulders and I appreciate it."
But some felt her proposal was a step too far, one said: "Wtf, a "pro-cannabis" person on #thismorning literally just said street weed is cut with Paracetamol and Fentanyl ... erm, HOW? That is utter bs. That said, the Government need to act for people (like me) with Chronic pain issues. We need a legal non opiate alternative!"
Another added: "I have fibromyalgia and yeah there is no cure it is painful, I had it since I was 13 and I'm 19, but I deal with it everyday, I don't think there is any excuse for drugs, no excuses."
