Elizabeth Brice (1957–2011) was a British writer, broadcaster, and activist who became one of the UK’s most influential voices for medical cannabis. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in her 20s, she discovered that cannabis eased her muscle spasms and improved her quality of life. Writing under the pen name Elizabeth Jane, she used her skills as a journalist and advocate to highlight the therapeutic benefits of cannabis at a time when few dared to speak openly.

Brice co-founded the UK patient group Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics and worked with Members of Parliament to push for law reform. She was deeply respected for her intelligence, compassion, and persistence, which gave a human face to the medical cannabis debate in Britain. Her legacy lives on in the UK’s gradual acceptance of cannabis-based medicines, and she is remembered as a courageous pioneer who turned her personal struggle into lasting advocacy for others.
