Both Cannabis Forums and Legalise It strongly believe that it is the right of every adult in the UK to consume cannabis should they wish! We also believe that you should be able to do this legally and without the worry of being pestered or arrested by the police. This is why we have joined forces, to create what we plan to be, the biggest campaign and petition to legalise the production and sale of THC containing cannabis flowers and products for both recreational and medicinal use by adults.
Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the human body in our brains, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. Cannabis is far safer than tobacco and alcohol, hasn’t killed anyone, has many health benefits and has been used by humans for over 4000 years, yet was made illegal in the UK way back in 1925. Tobacco kills over 7 million people per year and alcohol causes 3.3 millions deaths per year, yet both are legal to produce, sell and consume.
Cannabis can be used in many forms, be it the flower, oils, creams or balms to help with controlling, managing and reducing crippling pain, tumours, epileptic seizures, anxiety, mental health disorders, serious inflammation and having many other life changing health benefits. It can also be enjoyed socially like a glass of beer or wine.
The time has come to finally legalise the production, sale and adult use of Cannabis in the United Kingdom! With many other countries and regions including the United States of America, Canada, Netherlands, Croatia, Uruguay, Bermuda, South Africa, Jamaica, Belgium, Columbia, Spain, Belize, Portugal, Thailand, Italy, The Czech Republic, Argentina, Malta, Australia, Chili, Ecuador, Israel, Luxembourg, Paraguay and Saint Lucia having all decriminalised the use and in many cases also production and sale of this wonderful plant, isn’t it now time for the UK to follow suit and also change its laws surrounding Cannabis?
We also believe that every adult member of the British public should be allowed to grow a small number of Cannabis plants at home for their own personal use. They should also be able to safely purchase good quality, clean, unadulterated Cannabis products legally for both medical and recreational use.
With both hemp and CBD products now legal to produce, sell, purchase and consume within the UK, now is the time to adopt the same attitude towards THC products and the growing of Cannabis for personal use.
Whether the UK government like it or not, the Cannabis industry in the UK has already starting to adopt a similar approach to its overseas example setters such as America, Canada, Spain and the Netherlands. UK Cannabis users have come to expect the same quality of products available abroad, prompting a huge surge of both underground cafes and registered Cannabis clubs opening in many of our towns and cities. These cafes and clubs offer a safe environment for adults to both purchase and consume their Cannabis whilst socialising with others users, just as others decide to do over a Friday night pint in their local. Hundreds of Cannabis to your door delivery and postal services now also openly operate in the UK, offering a safer way of purchasing Cannabis than meeting a stranger in a dark alleyway. Just like any other business, customers can often read a dispensaries reviews to check that the Cannabis they are purchasing is of good quality. This alone helps ensure that a large amount of the Cannabis now available in the UK is of a far better quality than its been in previous years.
By completely legalising Cannabis, an industry that currently generates more than 2.5 billion pounds every year in the UK, the government can finally take its control from criminal gangs, many of which groom children into becoming dealers, illegal immigrants into running grow houses and violent feuds breaking out over postcode territory wars that often end in yet another young teenagers death! Both knife and gun crime in the UK has been a serious problem for many years now. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that legalising Cannabis will help to dramatically reduce this.
Legalising Cannabis could also generate around a billion pounds in tax every year, bringing a new, taxable source of income to the UK economy. The opening of legitimate cafes, clubs and dispensaries would also bring with it new job opportunities for the tens of thousands of people who are currently unemployed and struggling to pay their bills. Being a country that is currently in financial turmoil, a legal and regulated Cannabis industry is just whats needed to help dig the UK out of the ever sinking hole that it is currently in.
With the looming fact that the UK could also soon be facing countrywide blank outs as a result of the energy supply issues surrounding the war between Russia and Ukraine, taxes generated from legalising Cannabis could be used to erect more wind turbines across the country to help tackle this issue. Schools may even have to start closing one day a week, because their budgets aren’t big enough to cover the expense of the rising costs of gas and electricity. This simply cannot be allowed to happen! Every child has the right to be educated five days a week and the taxes raised from legalising Cannabis could help cover those expenses also.
Creating a regulated market like our overseas friends in America and Canada would finally ensure that the quality of Cannabis products available in the UK are both safe to consume and of a consistently high standard. With its use further increasing and consumers not going anywhere, please join us in our mission to get Cannabis legalised in the UK for both recreational and medicinal use. Sign the petition, share it with your friends, family and colleagues and together lets make the UK government finally announce the date for UK wide legalisation!
