SEED OUR FUTURE: GET INVOLVED

Many police forces are unaware of cannabis laws in the UK, there remains a wide variation in police stances and even those with legitimate, legal prescriptions find themselves in custody or in court. Seed Our Future came up with these template letters a while back so that those wanting to try and bring this to the attention of their local authorities could do so. I've deliberately skipped campaign no.1 for now as that's to write to your Member of Parliament and there's no sense in doing that when we're due a general election I don't think. If you think otherwise, just go straight to the Seed Our Future campaign address:

MARCH 2024 UPDATE
The Cannabis App

Last month I was super happy to report that Gary Youds was finally out of prison (where he'd unjustly served time for providing a sick person with cannabis oil) and to draw your attention to him discussing his time there and his future plans with Simpa Carter on Simpa's podcast. So along those lines I'd like to introduce you to the Cannabis App. I'd describe it as a fledgling app, as it's only been out a few months, but I believe I was told it's been four years in the making. Anyhow, it's in a nutshell, a forum and encrypted chat system, designed in collaboration with Gary to improve networking across every aspect of the cannabis world. It's a new idea, and goodness knows we need them, so personally I'm interested to see how it pans out. I've spoken to Gary, which was an absolute pleasure and he definitely isn't sounding like a man with a broken spirit, so I'm excited to seeing his plans come to fruition too.

So without further ado, introducing... The Cannabis App:

Take a look, see what you think!

FEBRUARY 2024 UPDATE

If you've visited this page before, you'll have seen a campaign calling for the release of a gentleman called Gary Youds, who was incarcerated on cannabis charges. Not that he should ever have been in, but I'm pleased to announce that Gary recently got released. You can hear about Gary's plans by listening to this interview with Simpa Carter:

This campaign includes a template letter that you just need to print/ sign and send to your Member of Parliament to urge them to lend their support.
