Open Letter asking why access to medicine remains restricted

Petition: Demand an
Investigation into
Home Office Cannabis Policy

As evidenced elsewhere on the website, Cannabis Policy has consistently gone against that of the government's own advisers since before it was banned, not to mention what the scientific research suggests. This was created by Cefyn Jones from Hemphound.

A series of templates devised by the excellent Guy Coxall that you can complete to help ensure that your local police and councillors are aware of medical cannabis laws. Believe it or not, many still don't seem to be.

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:
