Ban on cultivating CBD oil from cannabis 'unfair' and 'insane', UK farmers say
The Government is being urged to scrap rules that stop British farmers from fully harvesting cannabis plants.
Up to 80% of the crop currently has to be burnt, forcing the UK to import millions of pounds for so-called CBD products.

The 80% they throw away is hemp, a very valuable material that will replace the timber market and that will be better for the environment.
The only reason hemp isn’t more widely used is because it’s not profitable, how disgusting that us as a species have limited ourselves due to a manmade concept of money that a simple pandemic has revealed to be unstable.
Why have we created such a terrible world for ourselves?
None of the UK laws on cannabis protect the public.
None at all.
Many major countries across the world are making huge progressive steps in completely legalising this incredible plant for it’s vast benefits.
The UK is so far behind it’s laughable. Every single “issue” they say comes with it has either being debunked or all together been identified as false information.
But hey, get yourself to the pub instead. Alcohol is no where near as damaging for your health as cannabis right? 🥴 idiots
This would bring BILLIONS to the government if they made it fully legal. Not just medical but for recreational use. BILLIONS
CBD being illegal? Like have they gone insane?
I learned a lot about CBD on the Weedborn website. Check it out. The best oils are on there right now.
I’ve tried CBD and it works amazing. Check out these products from Weedborn.
weres the field
Non psychotic?? Doesn’t she mean non psychoactive?

Need a petition started

SIGN YOUR PETITIONS. GET PETITIONS RUNNING AGAIN. This is disgraceful the fact this is still illegal!!!!
So now I’m healthier. Only thanks to Weedborn 🙂
Yet it’s ok for May and Mogg to grow real cannabis
Wrong title cannabis is not hemp.
As crazy up that is considering the sheer hypocrisy of the u.k government who own private warehouses filled with tonnes of cannabis for foreign export and private financial gain while criminalizing it’s own people and labeling cannabis a class b drug,
They legalised hemp a few years ago for industrial uses alongside medical uses, though this was a great first step in the right direction it was not worth the effort because of the amount of legal restrictions and permits and licenses required to grow and supply hemp, only millionaires could afford to start a business in hemp so it didn’t benefit the public in any way and only made millionaires more rich . .while the public were being charged £50 for 0.5 grams of low grade cbd oil worth 10p in reality and of course the silly sheep public loved the new trend and millionaires were becoming even more rich instantly and the government didn’t like it so they banned the cultivation of cbd oil, and now they can only collect the stalk from the crop , which makes the entire process of growing hemp useless,
And tbh I dont care, because this did not benefit the public in any way, it was a marketing scheme for the rich by the rich controlled by the rich
Until hemp and cannabis are completely decriminalised and treated like a common blade of grass of no concern to a group of politicians then anything inbetween is just a marketing ploy like the legalisation of cannabis in America for "medical use" basically the government controlling supply and market under the illusion of "freedom " ,
It’s a plant that grows for free with little effort, money is mainly an illusion when it comes to cannabis.
Love your country, don’t trust your government.
*its not because they can’t legalise it – it’s because they don’t want to legalise it*
legalise it
The UK is the largest exporter in the world of THC based cannabis medicine yet the Home Office continues to argue Cannabis has no medicinal benefits and is a dangerous drug. By that logic the UK is the largest drug dealer in the world…
Its criminal
Just giow it anyway

Ignorant politicians. What an insane situation
Absolute corruption
Only for the government is it legal to sell cannabis in the U.K. 🙄
There’s so much proof the benefits of cannabis out weigh the risks….. Aren’t the government and vaccine makers saying exactly the same thing about the vaccines 😂😂 so the vaccines and alcohol are OK by that logic but cannabis is ‘dangerous and addictive’ even though it has far more positives than either of the latter.. … What do they teach these Eton boys 😂😂😂
We need rid of this cancerous government!!!
yeah but Cbd isn’t even proven to work
