Despite law enforcement efforts, the underground #cannabis trade continues to thrive, fueled by #prohibition#drugspolicy that leaves supply unregulated and unsafe. The financial power of organised crime perpetuates cycles of violence and exploitation. https://t.co/YBQXUkcfK0
@marclanders I can at least recommend your newsletter URL but it would not be ethical for me in the UK to promote X on other platforms etc. Those days are over unless ownership etc changes. I know a-lot of people feel the same.
@marclanders I was prescribed Nabilone back in 2008 for fibromyalgia before an exception to grow my own from 2009 in Scotland which was much better. Plant based medicine will always win in my opinion.
Nature is not a political football. Restoring wildlife is vital, not a point scoring exercise. All politicians need a GCSE in Natural History. No 10 blocks beaver release plan as officials view it as ’Tory legacy’. #gcsenathist @CarolineLucas https://t.co/jEvOaNQzRk
@dsnorthnorth@John2Win re the harmful #cannabis failures of Government I was expecting #cannabis oil through the NHS in 2008. Here we are in 2025 and even children can't access this vital medicine due to laws that harm #wellness & the #economy.
STUDY. Nearly 400 families forced to the illegal #cannabis market to treat their child’s drug-resistant #epilepsy. Total failure of both @Conservatives and @UKLabour to honour the promises of government ministers. #drugspolicy https://t.co/BnWBkwuToG
@iambillyuk @iambilly for your interest "A new study out of the Netherlands in December 2018 found that standardised pharmaceutical-grade cannabis with a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content was effective in treating the musculoskeletal pain caused by fibromyalgia."

@iambillyuk Thanks for sharing @iambillyuk. I've found it helpful since 2006. After a prescription of Nabilone was useless prescribe cultivation of medical cannabis worked wonders for my fibro from like 2009. There is nothing new here Drs and patients have known for decades.
@dsnorthnorth UK pharmaceutical lead cannabis industry care of @ukhomeoffice and @UKCanCouncil is unethical, corrupt and harmful.
The Caribbean shows England how it should be done:

"Alcohol’s Cancer Risk and Cannabis’s Medical Potential: A Tale of Two Policies"
"In 2003, the U.S. government patented cannabis compounds for their neuro protective and antioxidant properties (U.S. Patent No. 6630507). The patent explicitly references the potential of cannabinoids to treat neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as inflammation-related conditions.
Let that sink in: The U.S. government holds a patent for the medical benefits of cannabis, yet continues to classify it as a drug with no medical value."
"Why the Double Standard?
The answer lies, at least in part, in politics and industry influence. The alcohol industry generates billions in revenue annually and holds significant lobbying power in Washington."
That's changing rapidly now. The total sales of cannabis in America in 2024 were reported to be approximately $32 billion.

@marclanders Poor lady. Personal growers fined need their product and money returned. Criminal records removed.
For anyone who went to prison compensation for every day they were unjustly locked up.
@MedBudUK@MHRAgovuk Enough respect @medbuduk. Best to grow your own 😃thanks to decriminalisation from great GPs, police who do not get the praise they deserve for being so well ahead of their time.
To be fair the poor quality @UKCanCouncil have not existed for long at all.
