The UK is the world's largest exporter of medical cannabis, but there's probably like three people in the entire country who have prescriptions for it. Also, several regional police forces in the UK have basically issued statements saying that they don't give a shit about people growing weed
I don't see it changing any time soon, even though nobody gives a shit about it. Though I did just find this survey where apparently 31% of people think that if you smoked a joint once at uni you shouldn't be allowed to be an MP
Wasn't there some pretty obvious corruption as well around this main company being connected to some MP through family ties or something which made it possible that they alone would get licenses to produce medical weed?
I vaguely remember reading something along those lines.
You're thinking of Victoria Atkins, I assume, the "Minister for Safeguarding" - her husband is the managing director for British Sugar, which grows cannabis for use in epilepsy medicine - Article
