Marie, who was from Lifford, took cannabis in a medicinal form to east her pain.

Her partner Tom said he is delighted that the State will legalise the medicinal cannabis next month.

Tom said “It is a long time coming. I have spoken in the past of the effect that cannabis had on Marie.

“It really worked with the pain relief and spasms and the mood-lifting capabilities were very good,” he said.

The medicinal cannabis will be distributed in a spray form and taken orally.
