    Sky reporting this just makes them look bad and the police seizing it makes them worse I know people that smoke cannabis for mental health because they have tried everything else and it didn’t work then again police are devils in disguise and probably enjoy watching people suffer.



  16. @lukeatbrandynightful on January 5, 2024 at 9:20 pm

    Why are the police acting like they’ve caught bin laden



  17. @user-my7kb3mp1b on January 5, 2024 at 9:21 pm

    ‘Cannabis is also being grown legally in the UK for another medicine, Epidiolex. It’s currently being reviewed for the treatment of two rare forms of uncontrollable epilepsy, by medicine agencies in both the US and Europe. But it’s not yet available.
    The specially bred type of cannabis plant used to make it is grown in a glasshouse in Wissington, Norfolk, by British Sugar – which also grows virtually all of the sugar beet in the UK.
    British Sugar – whose managing director is Paul Kenward – has an exclusive deal with pharmaceutical company GW, which makes Epidiolex. Mr Kenward is married to drugs minister Victoria Atkins.
    She was accused of "hypocrisy on a grand scale" over her husband’s involvement in a legal cannabis farm. She declared the interest in Parliament when she was appointed in 2017 and excused herself from speaking for the government on cannabis.’ – BBC, May 23, 2018



  49. @eddiebaby22 on January 5, 2024 at 10:07 pm

    For something that costs the police valuable time and resources. Something that is rightly so legal in many countries. Just legalise it UK



  50. @pcdave1783 on January 5, 2024 at 10:08 pm

    1:11 – hilarious example of how dim our police are. What a melter 🤣
