  1. thankyou carly for your work with medical cannabis and uk regulation, thankyou for cannacard, thankyou from the bottom of my heart, you practically saved my life

  2. &tell her calm down they will give you slap on wrist untill the second time then £100 fine then 3rd time £1000! Fine, I've not been caught a 4th time so I don't know how much the fine will be haha more than likely £10000

  3. Did you see at the end that the government has informed doctors to not prescribe as they need more evidence and research to be carried out..
    that’s a bloody joke why don’t they look at the USA and Canada’s research.. I mean look how far up America’s arse they are and now they want more research.. what a bunch of hypocrites!!

  4. I smoke green in the uk 🇬🇧 but mainly stick to CBD hemp now as it’s legal but sometimes I buy proper green. Mj should be legal in the uk but with the Tory party in charge we don’t stand a chance of it becoming legal over here. Everyone here still will smoke cannabis whether legal or illegal but the government could make millions if they legalised and taxed cannabis, like tobacco is taxed.

  5. I feel so bad for her man I wish her the best of luck . Because it’s not like she’s abusing it . She has pains and for her to pay 3 fucking bands for 7 eighths is fucking absurd . Really hope something has changed for her by now

  6. You need at least 100g to be done for possession, otherwise it's just a fine. And cause of the 'rona weed is as legal as it has ever been right now (stretched police force) so that is something good Boris has done for me 💨💨💨

  8. I got a question for the bbc, if your free and fair as you claim why haven’t you exposed the research that’s clearly been there for years? I’ve seen every interview the bbc and even sky news have done on cannabis and it’s obvious your on the governments side because the research that it’s extremely safe is overwhelming!???

  9. Just legalise the whole thing just because a couple people get psychosis, who normally have already existing mental illness or issues, means no one can use it. People drink themselves to death daily and smoke tobacco relentlessly. These poor kids need it as a medicine and all they do is elongate these “trials” to suppress the idea of legalisation. Legalisation would reduce crime as cannabis is a main contributor to gangs and criminals so why don’t we take the profit from the criminals and pump it into our economy? It can also be used to create things such as clothing, structures, candles etc. Most importantly it can be used to treat horrible health issues such as epilepsy, cancer, anxiety and many more. It’s time we reform our archaic laws from as far back as 1928, which is pre World War 2 and this country has changed massively from then. Do the right thing and legalise the herb!
