    The Cannabis for Cole Campaign shows the NHS doesn’t care about their duty to patients health. The majority of medical cannabis is based on cbd while limiting thc content and the weed and human body need both in tandem to work properly. Also its the people that smoke far too much that suffer from severe mental illness but there are also many other contributers such as background and lifestyle to be taken into account. Whereas the heart disease is caused, primarily, by tobacco but also adulterated cannabis, much akin to chemical laden foods and their full organic counterparts. One needs only to look at the Netherlands to see the multitude of benefits decriminalisation could bring. Alcohol causes far more health problems than most other drugs and substances but is still fully legal, just because its harder to control a cannabis consumer than an alcohol consumer doesn’t make it a worse substance.

    That’s because we have a backwards thinking government, but we grow 45% of the market ! Small wonder people break the law to self medicate

    In UK students and others drink themselves to d3ath almost every weekend, and yet alcohol is not restricted or nanned! Since when people of the Netherlamds have more cancer and heart disease cases than those UK because they legalized Marijuana on almost half a century now?

    So they say that smoking cannabis can cause cancer but then say that it can be prescribed to cancer patients going through chemotherapy? How the f does that make sense?!

    Cannabis is a fantastic drug and helped my nuropathic pain for years , I still miss it but can no longer afford it , but I tried some again years after stopping it and because I wasnt used to it I smoked too much too soon and suffered what is called a whitey, it was like an unpleasant hallucinogenic feelings of pannic and dysphoria, I had to be helped home and put to bed but I slept great …..so a word of warning start slowly and not too strong a weed , resin is better to begin with and not too much.

    The UK produces *45%* of THE WORLDS commercial cannabis…
    And yet, criminalises UK people who use it themselves.

    It is disgusting.

    I don’t do weed but I accept that whilst it does have risks the risks are not higher than drinking alcohol.

    Peter Tosh has a great song about this subject.
