Bro’s and Broetts please dont use plastic ballons to spread seeds. Stuff eats it and dies terrible deaths. Now you know so dont do it please
All the medication I have taken over 15 years has only made my fibromyalgia 100x worse..so now I use the magic plant..and I’m getting sum sort of life again…thank you good lads.
weed is better than drinking alcohol.. the world is stupid
I’ve had 5 major back surgeries. The doctors had me on so many pills. I was a zombie, and now i smoke and don’t take the pills. I believe big pharma is behind keeping it illegal, they can make more money on keeping people sick!!!
In the north of England it’s the police that do the growing and selling of cannabis !
This breaks my heart that those who appose the health benefits of cannabis are in a sense heartless because they think it translates to say heroin or whatever else they can think of but your body will not shutdown when stopped suddenly and or make you sick when you don’t have it cause i have been on both sides growing up with cannabis and then going through opioids due to a bad accident at work which was mmy back and hip becoming permanently damaged. So now i am legally aloud to grow up to four plants and carry up to one ounce and as long as i dont possess a scale or packages intended for distribution then your in the clear. Now in my city they are now offering fentanyl, crack, meth from the government to help in safe injection harm reduction places. Now i dont think thats suck a great idea thry offer that for there reasons but yet they will not think to make replacement therapy from cannabis to help aid in injury, mental health and wellness.
I live in the uk and this country is FUCKING STUPID!!!!
Hamilton would have never been nervous and scared.
Based on all the stuff I have heard about the UK, I personally wouldn’t go there even if they pay me, I definitely wouldn’t live there! It is "funny" that they are threatening to arrest Americans for saying stuff that they don’t like on the internet!
‘ harm to health’ , yet the UK is the single largest exporter of ‘medical’ cannabis
Good job sir
Its sad that most people won’t grow them😢😢
But weed ain’t free
Do any English or British men mate with white women anymore ? the last 5 videos I have seen here on youtube about England every man mated with another race why is that ? Did the black Illegal migrants take all the promiscuous English women ?
Hamilton would’ve told hydro step aside while this dude was scared
I believe Heart a d Soul in Pot !!! But I also believe Heart and Soul , that we should stop messing with Her Genetics and Gene Pool , we Shoukd stick to the staples of Morocco, Lebanon, Himalayas, African , American , All original out door strains should be preserved , there’s Real Magic in these species and thier Unique Properties and High’s,
Messing with the gene Pools is messing with the Brain cells, and the Magic is succumbing to commerce
Peace 🙏☮❤🏴☠️
In the UK, the people are oppressed and have lived to accept it. No guns, no pot, no life 😂
Anyone know where I can get my hands on some of this I’m in cronic pain all the time (sorry for the spelling I’m dyslexic)
That pizza looks bad.
In America, they take your kids away

I live in the uk and have prescribed cannabis
Legalize it trump. I wanna be able to go to different states and still be able to smoke
Insane cigarettes are legal. Proven to harm you and others around.
Still okay..
Cannabis hasnt been proven harmful but beneficial in ways. Yet is illegal… makes no sense 🤣
Hemp industry 🤔 tobaccos industry 🤔
Its been legal since 2018. Im a medical patient. It isnt cheap, but in my area its the same price as the illegal stuff. Also discounts for those on UC, ADP, PIP etc.
Like 80% of the war on drugs arrests are for Cannabis use.. that’s why they keep it illegal because if they take away cannabis arrest they won’t be able to justify the ridiculous policing budgets for the narcotics squads. It’s also a control thing, like alcohol.. make something illegal, eliminate competition, legalize with extremely strict guidelines and regulations so that only you and your rich friends can control the market and ofcouse slap some tax on it. I have a medical prescription for Cannabis here in nz but it’s still illegal for me to grow my own plants for the exact same purpose of medication.. if that doesn’t scream control I don’t know what does.

one love!
Sick and evil medical industries and arms industries ran by real life demons
They just want to make us ill and charge us for it
Nothing but evil
Honestly I feel like the legal cannabis (thca hemp flower) market would be a good way to go, I’m not sure what they consider hemp, our guidelines are a joke but then again just because the US says anything under 0.3 delta 9 is hemp, that delta 9 level don’t matter it’s the high thca decarbed that gets you. Then again over half the dispensary flower passes as hemp in the u.s, at least in Delaware they try that b.s that’s why I stick with lit farms thca flower, pretty decent cannabis available for legal purchase on line
I live in the USA but unfortunately the state i reside still has it illegal but has passed it for medical with is a step in the right direction
Lean down, look left with eyes wide then lean down right while looking the other way, is the anxiety from police sirens.
this isnt a drug issue, its a human dilemma.. those who are against it likes to keep things in boxes, and they don’t like questioning if a thing is placed into the wrong box.
compared to all drugs, this isn’t even a bad one- the upsides outweigh the drawbacks.
further more, yes it might trigger your underlying mental condition.. but id rather have it triggered for the first time while in safe surroundings than have it activate while on the road, driving a buss full of ppl.
knowledge is acid to a stigmatic mind, stigma set in place as to protect their world views.. to keep their ego intact, as to not start questioning most things in society.
And God said i give unto to you everything Green and living as substanance its always been Legal but your not taught how to free yourself of the leaf Never swear on the Bible for one and always ask to be bought the book when arrested and find those words and read them out loud and keep saying until they release you
In the isle of man if you can afford the consultant fees £50 a pop3 mandatory monthly then £20 handling charge on top of the price of the product. Its scandalous
Prohibition is just another facet of Dividing & Conquering.
I thought weed in the UK was decriminalized criminal
A doco about weed but you censored the swear words wow
Free the weed💯 🇬🇧 🏴 when was this made because You can use medical cannabis in the UK and have been able to for years now
2025 and it’s still illegal…..
It’s nothing short of heartbreaking that in 2025, we’re still seeing people take incredible risks just to provide life-saving cannabis medicine to those in need. The courage and selflessness of these individuals is a testament to the power of compassion and the urgent need for change in our healthcare system.
As one of the 50,000+ patients who rely on cannabis and have access to a legal prescription via my cannabis clinic Alternaleaf for #CannabisMedicine for relief, I can speak to the transformative difference it has made in my life. It’s an absolute disgrace that such a vital treatment is not universally accessible on the NHS, especially when we see the extraordinary lengths people are going to in order to get it into the hands of those who desperately need it. We must push for change—this medicine saves lives, and it should be available to everyone, without fear, without risk, and certainly without the stigma.
It’s a staggering injustice that in today’s world, we have a legal system that caters to those who can afford the necessary prescription and an illicit system for those who have no other choice due to financial or access barriers. This creates a two-tier system where the well-being of the patient depends not on medical need, but on their ability to pay. It’s appalling that while some can access high-quality, regulated cannabis medicine, others are forced to turn to unregulated sources, risking their health and freedom just to ease their suffering. This division is a glaring failure of our healthcare and legal systems. Medicine should never be a privilege, and no one should have to resort to illegal means to access life-changing treatment. The current system is not only unjust—it’s a violation of basic human dignity. We must demand an equitable approach where all patients, regardless of their financial situation, can receive the care they need.
We NEED to start a campaign group to get NICE (Nat inst for clinical excellence) to change the rules and make it available on NHS.
Corrupt elected officials are bought and paid for by big pharmaceutical corporations and will never allow cannabis to be used even if it could cure every disease on earth. Hell republicans in the US would let their own family members die and still do nothing.
I love this show.
Medical..? 100% of the people I know who use it, do so to get stoned 🤪 😂🤣
that beep fking annoying
I know this is mentioned in the description, but it’s important to recognise this was aired before the 2018 rescheduling of cannabis, which recognises it as a therapeutic substance. Medical cannabis is now readily accessible with a prescription in the UK, but many police forces haven’t caught up sadly.
. Weed avoid violence, alcohol makes violence
That father brings a tear to my eye. People who want him in a cement cage are pure evil.
lol “you can blow yourself up” why the over dramatization.
Medical canabis has been legal in the uk since 2018, you have to pay for perscriptions tho
