Should the UK Legalize Cannabis? Exploring the Controversy! | Trade to Black
On our latest Trade To Black podcast, host Shadd Dales explores one of the most pressing questions in international cannabis reform: Should the UK legalize cannabis? As the global cannabis industry continues to evolve—with countries like Germany embracing adult-use reform—the United Kingdom remains in a legal grey zone.
In this episode, Shadd breaks down the current state of cannabis policy in the UK, the growing public support for legalization, and the economic potential of a regulated cannabis market. Despite being one of the largest exporters of medical cannabis globally, access for British patients remains limited. The episode also dives into the concerns raised by health officials, the role of law enforcement, and how UK policymakers compare to their counterparts across Europe and North America.
Whether you’re a cannabis investor, policy analyst, or advocate for cannabis reform, this episode offers a balanced and timely look at one of the most controversial topics in the cannabis space.

Why not everybody smokes it anyway.
It’s not legal in England, bwahahah
Lol this Yankees going down to the pot store. Oh which one to choose?
BBS
Of fkkn course it should be legal
..not everyone will want it legalised but it would bring in millions in revenue..look at how alcohol destroys lives and yet it’s allowed to continue to be sold..🤔
The uk doesn’t spend any euros on anything bro, we use gbp 🤦♂️
Further sell all drugs in chemists stop gang making the money and dirty drugs save lives pay tax is all sales ban in public use all crime linked to paying for drugs so means test over a year then u know if robbing or something to pay for it also stop kids running and being used by drug dealers is no sense cos they think it’s wrong
Should the UK Legalize Cannabis? NO, don’t do it, you are being CONNED!
Yes they should because it makes u.s even look better so that we can have it forever please
Yes, that is a stupid question… quit putting people in jail over a plant re(g)ards.
Bravo…..they tryed "war on drugs "……is that before ur time….weed …it costs lots to look up and a waste money……..nonviolence peoples should not be looked up……Amsterdam is the model…….mom say …..history speaks for it self……soft drugs ….time to change…..America is making money…….hmmm
definitely Yes
Yes
we are one of the last places to do it come on get with it uk
Yes, it bloody should! Jesus, get over yourselves, you stuffy old bastards!
Never should’ve been illegal in the first place
cannabis is a racket ran by our government all our former drugs ministers have managed to give their spouses a licence to grow it for medical use so have a vested interest in keeping it illegal for us and there for eliminating any competition by use of our now corrupt police farce
Yes to safe guard users. People could tamper with product spray stuff to add weight and god knows what else.
I hope they legalize it simply for convenience but I’ll continue smoking it regardless, like I have been doing for the past 20 years.
pay us back all the f****** money we gave you during your fake war
Legalise cannabis
Never ever.
The dangers of self medicating?😂😂😂😂😂
Please uk legalise shiva juice , so that 13 year old kids dont have to stab each other to death in its cause .
Don’t legalise it the government will make less money if this happens, only they should sell it to make profits. Also there would be less crime this is not good for paying our judges and lawyers. Most drug dealers will be straight out of business. This is not good for the government 😂😂😂
Yes
Gimme one reason why not, protect yourself and Never give anyone on the black market the Chance to unclean your weed. Take it from the Country with a Garantie that the Cannabis is well and very important without Any unhealthy stuff
Anything that grows naturally is a gift from God and no man has the right to stop its use. It is one of the most healing plants on the face of this planet which is I believe one of the main reasons for the UK banning it, the NHS can’t have people healing themselves without making a ton of cash out of it!
If the UK government were to enjoy the increased tax income from legalizing cannabis; then maybe their political opponents, wouldn’t have enjoyed seeing the chancellor in tears yesterday.

they will go to war first😊
It’s only illegal because the USA told them it was.
Legalize it everywhere it’s absurd that a plant is illegal. There are other plants that are actually deadly and no one ever thinks about regulating them…. Kinda strapping on a seatbelt, whoever needed one except for when they’re pulled over and the authorities want extra money. If there’s heavy traffic on the road, then slow down but honestly speed limits are OK but not needed for sensible individuals.
Next government in 2029 is likely to be Labour, Lib Dem, Green, coalition.
Its been legal since 2018 here in UK under medical prescription
As a Canadian you Brits gotta get your heads outta your asses on this one. Just look at us and look at the United States. Guess which one of us has nationwide legal weed? Hint: it’s not the one that’s turning into a fascist dictatorship of nazis.
Make it legal and tax for systems that need money that the people really need and with the reduction in money into the legal system it can be put into sectors in its department that need it as well like new equipment and such.
The authorities could stop drugs in society if they wanted to,si may as well kegalise it,it will make people insane but they are already,it would cut diwn on hard drugs as if youve been to holland natural weed there us very very strong two joints u was kaughing fir iver a gour and i dont kniw what i was laughing about everything was funny,three joints i had to walk around with hands in pocket for eight hours,i never smoked again in next two weeks,a smoke once a year at just obe hoint would be enough,its stronger rhan cocaine according to lits if oeople much stronger,its si strong you dont want to do again,so e will do always but they xan orobably function on it without the sude effects,but if nationalist oarty git in,then we would stop drugs fir goid,vut as it atands kefalise ur,uts better than criminals getting rheir naxhine funa etc
UK has had medical cannabis since 2018 if I’m remembering correctly. The reason you don’t hear more about it is cause its private. You can’t get it on the NHS, which is how majority of the country gets their medication and those that do go and get medical find out, it can get really expensive just to get registered. Then you have the other expenses on top. Yeah, the bud may be cheaper, but its usually pretty low quality to what other countries use for medical cannabis. So you’ll find most UK smokers will stick to getting their bud from their local guy around the corner. Instead of having to travel hours (depending on locations) and spending what could get you a ounce or two from the street on a mere few grams for the month.
Personally speaking it’s what keeps me from going medical. Too many hoops, far too stressful. Expenses can add up. Subpar quality bud.
Yes who are they to tell us what to do anyway.
We shouldnt still be just debating this it should be legal its actually cruel that its not legal bad for the population who have to smoke some terrible horrible stuff from the illegal market
The horrible smell alone should be a good enough reason for it to remain illegal.
The snp tried to fully legalize it but of course the absolutely fair union government rejected it independence now ALBA gu brath
Here in Germany its legal I take it cause it helps with my mental health alot more than any prescription drug ever could, but yes i agree it should be made legal in the UK
Yes it should,but it won’t,ever!
Who cares anyway..Just grow it or buy it ,fk the law 👍
Yes it should be legal everywhere
It’s legal for GM to grow and sell tons, so why not the same for all.
Just make it normal.
Of course.
Nah, we should be more like Texas! 🤙
