philwebs Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Johnny G - "you're overloading me" Good. Take it easy and work through all the information. Ponder on it and do your own research. Medicinal cannabis in the UK is in my opinion a scam. A massive, odious, money grab for a natural medicine. Mrs Mays husband is the largest investor in GW Pharmaceticals. Mrs Atkins husband (the former drugs tzar) is British Sugar, which grows allegedly 95 tons of the stuff in the UK. The UK is the biggest exporter of medical cannabis in the world. Sativex sells for about £800 per month. Epilodex is priced at about £3,200 per month. Marinol, synthetic THC, which the US government originally patented, costs about £1,000 and is probably on the doctors lists. There is a recent UK London listing for a company which has started growing medical cannabis in the UK. All the above when you put it together is in my opinion hypocritical and reeks of unpleasantness (guarding my words). In due time the Mediterranean countries will be the key providers of cannabis. Cheap to grow in sunny countries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philwebs Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 This thread has been neglected. Today for your delectation watch this video. You must watch the initial introduction, very hard to view, and then continue past 44 seconds for the transformation. This is very much along the same lines as the parkinsons ones, just as dramatic. (search videos cannabis parkinsons). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cjB2Y44zF0 I have not heard any developments recently. I doubt if anything will happen until the politicians are told to do something by their controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 As the rest of the world moves forward, we remain in the dark ages with some of the most severe punishments for having a bit of weed in the civilised world. https://bbc.in/32sf7w8?fbclid=IwAR0r27Fc0_SvVD-BhGM40bEoxSqrbbRQJJaGo9wnlWzCrctYl_YCAZxjqB0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 31 minutes ago, Max Power said: And what is even sadder? The fact that in 2021 otherwise relatively intelligent people still believe it should be banned and in fact over here we send people to prison for selling it. At least we can see the rest of the world making progress. Shame we are missing another opportunity to show we can be a bit forward thinking rather than falling behind like we did with corporeal punishment, homosexuality, civil relationships, abortion...... What is even more nuts is that in areas where you could actually make a valid argument for the rest of the world being right and our law being outdated and actually dangerous, we are pretty much out on our own - speed limits. This island is so backward sometimes it is embarrassing when we should be leading the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) With the current UK Government thinking, I reckon it will be a while before any relaxation on illegal drugs is going to happen: Middle-class drug users could lose UK passports under Boris Johnson’s plans End of ‘slaps on the wrist’ for middle-class drug users Edited December 6, 2021 by Barlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cissolt Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Any news on the law change over here? Apparently people can no longer receive prescription cannabis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
