"The land of the free" where you can be fined $1 million and imprisoned for 20 years for boycotting the war criminal state of Israel, its terrorist 'settlers' or interfering with its genocide.

I'm a liberal at heart although I'd vote for Jeremy Corbyn if he was on my ballot paper but it's time the #cannabis reform movement got wise and realised where the best chance for liberty may lie. #drugspolicy

USA. Adults aged 65+ are using #cannabis to treat pain and poor sleep – and they’re the fastest-growing market. There is much less misinformation about cannabis than in Europe and stigma is decreasing. #drugspolicy www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

SLOVENIA to legalise #cannabis for medical use and introduce adult-use legalisation by the end of the year. #drugspolicy www.leafie.co.uk/news/sloveni...

Despite being one of the most important regulatory systems in human physiology, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) remains absent from almost all mainstream medical education. #cannabis #drugspolicy businessofcannabis.com/the-glaring-...

The settlers are supported in every conceivable way by the Israeli state. The settlers and security forces have effectively merged. Bezalel Smotrich, head of the Religious Zionists and a self-proclaimed fascist, controls the occupied West Bank. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/loui...

VIDEO. In Nepal, #cannabis isn’t just a plant, it’s sacred. Every year during Shiva Ratri, devotees light up at Kathmandu’s holiest temple. But outside of this one day a year, cannabis remains illegal—a law imposed by the USA. #drugspolicy www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dhu...

It is remarkable to see the consistency, almost identical growth heights, branch and flowering structure. This is common to all professional operations but Dalgety achieves a level beyond anything I have seen before. #cannabis #drugspolicy peter-reynolds.co.uk/2025/04/24/d...

GERMANY. Bavaria has approved three #cannabis social clubs while maintaining it is still opposed to decriminalisation. This is a very significant move as Bavaria had been stalling. Now, with the new coalition agreement, the reforms look safe. #drugspolicy www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...

When Essex Police busts a weed farm, it now nurtures and dries the plants it keeps for evidence, in a “bespoke facility”. A team of six officers have learned to do it “just as well as the criminals”. #cannabis #drugspolicy www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Adam Windish, Chief Revenue Officer of @BritishCanna, has won a 15 month legal battle against the UK Border Force for the wrongful seizure of his #cannabis medicine. #drugspolicy cannabishealthnews.co.uk/2025/04/24/c...

VIDEO. Barry Wicks, ex-Army Air Corps and magistrate, has found prescription #cannabis the best solution for chronic pain in his lower back and hip. Now he can play a full 18 holes of golf again. #drugspolicy www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OW7...

Historic documentary on the unparalleled evil and criminal conduct of the IDF, many Jewish settlers and extremists who must be subject to international arrest warrants and sanctions. Must watch for those in @UKLabour taking cash from the Israeli regime www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

At least half of Keir Starmer's cabinet takes the Israeli shilling. After Louis Theroux's searing insight into the reality of Israel's conduct each individual MP who takes Israeli money needs to account for themselves

STUDY. Meta-analysis of medical cannabis outcomes and associations with cancer. This doesn't show that #cannabis can treat or cure #cancer, just that it might. What it says bevond doubt is that it is of tremendous benefit in treating cancer symptoms. #drugspolicy www.frontiersin.org/journals/onc...

Gary Lineker cuts to the chase on the BBC's ridiculous, cowardly, hypocritical position on Israeli war crimes. Under BBC rules if Russia bombs a hospital or a school it's a war crime. If it's Israel it's self defence.

What does it take to find a #cannabis plant with the perfect balance of potency, aroma and therapeutic consistency? #drugspolicy dalgetyuk.co.uk/finding-the-...

Reforming #drugspolicy is urgent if we want to move towards a more just, safe, and humane society. Evidence shows repressive policies have failed to reduce drug use and have serious negative consequences. The key is to stop punishing and start caring. softsecrets.com/en-GB/articl...

Unlike alcohol, #cannabis potency is influenced by multiple components and varies between individuals. There are at least 120 cannabinoids other than THC and CBD which all interact to produce different types of effect. #drugspolicy slate.com/technology/2...

James Leavesley CEO, Dalgety: "Our current setup was designed to prove that it’s not only possible, but viable to grow medical #cannabis in the UK. What we need now is to scale. Our entire approach was designed with speed to market in mind.” #drugspolicy businessofcannabis.com/dalgety-doub...

STUDY. Cannabis legalisation in Canada was associated with significant reductions in #schizophrenia. Regulatory measures enhance the quality and safety of #cannabis products, leading to fewer adverse health outcomes. #drugspolicy pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39387895/

Nebulized #cannabis is a method of inhalation that converts cannabis-infused saline into a breathable mist. Unlike smoking or vaping, this involves no heat, meaning fewer irritants and a cleaner experience for the lungs. #drugspolicy cedclinic.com/nebulized-ca...

STUDY. Researchers who analysed 10,000 medicinal #cannabis studies determined there was an overall agreement on its potential as a treatment for #cancer symptoms. #drugspolicy www.thetimes.com/article/6e3a...

Northern Ireland should take steps to legalise the use of #cannabis and open a safe injection facility, Belfast’s Lord Mayor has said. #drugspolicy www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politic...

STUDY. Recreational #cannabis legalisation in Canada appears to be achieving one of its primary goals by displacing the illegal cannabis market . #drugspolicy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

STUDY. Clear evidence that drugs law enforcement increases rather than reduces violence, does not reduce the supply of drugs and increases the risk of overdose. UK #drugspolicy is a disaster and has exactly the opposite effect to that intended. filtermag.org/uk-goverment...

In the UK, where the use of prescription #cannabis has been legal since 2018, patients are still facing stigma, misunderstanding, legal threats and even police harassment simply for taking their legal medicine. #drugspolicy www.cannabistrades.org/stories/harm...

Developments in access to prescription #cannabis in 2025 in the UK and the roles played by the NHS and private clinics. #drugspolicy www.universenewsnetwork.com/2025/04/14/f...

IRELAND. Some academics believe ancient Irish use of psychoactive substances — magic mushrooms, liberty cap, and fly agaric — foreshadows the adoption of #psychedelic drugs in modern medicine. #drugspolicy www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

STUDY. Studies demonstrate that drug-related law enforcement activities are of limited effectiveness and increase rather than reduce violence. #drugspolicy www.leafie.co.uk/news/policin...

Cannabis—a plant that’s sparked debates, lit up rooms and transformed economies. Once even mentioning it was taboo, so the current landscape is nothing short of astonishing. How #cannabis transitioned from #prohibition to the mainstream. #drugspolicy www.mercurynews.com/2025/04/09/f...

Bad #drugspolicy is the root cause of most crime and violence. #Prohibition creates criminal drugs markets which drive harm. The solution is legal #regulation. Until politicians grasp this nettle, crime and violence will continue to rise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

GERMANY. After months of speculation, the new governing coalition announced today that it has agreed to keep #cannabis legalisation in place. #drugspolicy internationalcbc.com/germanys-coa...

Why does #WarCriminal Netanyahu get to call the shots on Iran? Why does rabid 🟠💩get to call the shots on Iran? What's wrong with diplomacy, discussion, compromise? Are we heading for a Nobel 'peace' Prize unjustified war like Iraq? Weapons of mass distraction - don't look away from #GazaGenocide

Scott says he feels better than ever before since using prescribed #cannabis: “It's like the neuralgia is just gone. Honestly, I feel fantastic. This has changed my life.” #drugspolicy www.hampshirechronicle.co.uk/news/2505840...

NETHERLANDS. The government is allowing 80 coffeeshops in 10 towns and cities to sell legally grown #cannabis from licensed producers. #drugspolicy www.independent.co.uk/news/dutch-a...

PETITION. It's time the government started making money from #cannabis rather than wasting money trying to eradicate it - which is never going to happen. #drugspolicy www.change.org/p/rachel-ree...

SCOTLAND. Most people in Scotland (73%) are in favour of #cannabis being prescribed for medical conditions and are frustrated by the failure of the NHS to support it. #drugspolicy www.scotsman.com/read-this/6-...

César, a member of an Ecuador #cocaine gang, says "If consumption keeps growing, so will trafficking. It will be unstoppable." The ONLY way to deal with illicit drugs markets is legal #regulation. When will politicians face this reality? #drugspolicy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

REVIEW. Spectacular. If the creative people involved in this are given their head and supported by production and financing this could be the next Sopranos. I can’t say more than that. peter-reynolds.co.uk/2025/04/08/r...
