Medical cannabis ID helps policing
Medical cannabis ID helps policing
Patients who qualify for medical marijuana can be issued an ID by their GP to avoid arrest if they are stopped by police.
Medicinal cannabis treatments are legal in the UK, but expensive prescriptions have driven many users towards illicit, unregulated markets to buy medication – and it’s left them worried they may be criminalised.

Just legalise it FFS we are behind again loosing money again tax it legalise it take the money away from the criminals make it non profitable for drug dealers and most importantly controlled USA Canada Amsterdam have it right
Lol old channels are still my preferred choice,
As a canadian this seems absolutely retarded they have shown cannabis to be safer than alcohol and tabbacco.
how can that man & that woman both be called THE SAME NAME ?both are called CARLY ?
I’m not going to argue with no one.
I took the pills the doc gave me…switching this one that one.
I started using cannabis when I was 55. I have never been better, it has helped me most if all. I’m mad I could have been using all this time without pills be pushed down my throat.
It’s called freedom. I rather be a round a pothead then a DRUNK any day of the week. I was drinking and I’m quite embarrassed of myself! Pot is NOTHING LIKE ALCOHOL!!! No comparison
is the site down? it won’t let me log in.
It isn’t going to be legal while a UK Tory lord has a monopoly on UK cannabis production which is exported all over the world.
Good to hear
Hopefully will move forward from this point. I’m glad Sky News is sharing this video, let’s hope those who make the legislation cop on to the modern day era.
A crafty way to implement a bio medical ID card. Inevitably it WILL be linked to social credit scoring and eco points. Think ahead.
CANCARD IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY POLICE, OR ANY MEDICAL BODY. GOOGLE IT! SKY NEWS NOT DONE THEIR RESEARCH.
Apart from it becoming legal in many states in America cigarettes are a third of the price in America as well.
It should be made legal now!
Basically the way it’ll be is a tax on being able to not get prosecuted with possession.
The world is laughing at the UK not legalising cannabis, When countries like Thailand have legalised…….
I’m sick of saying why full cannabis legalisation will help this country, Only got look what Canada have done with legalisation, Damn they even built full on hospitals, Purely from the profits, I think it’s 4, Drug addiction an alcohol addiction have dropped, I don’t understand how cannabis can be legalised in Canada but not the UK anyways, Plus wouldn’t it help farmers have a new market to play with in the Lizziez Canz-UK deal, Will just say this the first party that brings full cannabis legalisation with taxes going back into the economy will win a lot of new votes, People are actually fed up of shading around to get some erbz, When if it was legalised quality can be delivered, Diff strains for diff pains, What’s more I believe growers in the UK could become world leaders in the field, People can use a non toxic drug for pain relief instead of toxic pain killers, An cannabis is amazing for helping old people out purely from being non toxic, No fear of overdose either, Cannabis is the tree of life, So it needs to be freed, But I’m not joking when I say cannabis legalisation is a vote winner…….
Drugs are winning the war on drugs. Love to see it.
Barbaric. Give the old dude his doobs. Why is the UK so behind?
cancard doesnt mean it’s legal….
Paying for medical cannabis funds big pharma lol
The most well supplied dealers I ever knew were cops.
I want did one
Decriminalise it and leave us alone.
Stop trying to make money with your "cAncARd"
Medical cannabis has given my missus her life back. After years of misdiagnosis and pharmaceuticals. I wish we could grow it legally because the stuff from the dispensary is rubbish. Black Market is booming and prices, variety and quality have literally never been as good. UK is really missing a trick.
I’m sure the workers in the Factories that grow it in Kent get it as gifts, like Gallahers used to hand out sleeves of 200
what’s the difference between someone that needs it but can’t get it but get the card someone that can get the card it bullshit why should they be the ones the say okay they need it but they dont its bullshit and am only 22 anyone and all should have the right to buy it from shops for from overs and even grow it if we wanted its bullshit they or the ones that or making the off side off the so much £ cuz its the only way for us to get it
Legalize it!
Odd, where I live they found the best assistance in freeing up the police was simply legalizing it & taking that burden off their duties.
Vote me as mayor all b done positive vibes
we need an ID somehow, covid fail so people might like a cannabis ID? very good with strategies…
This is so stupid, just legalize it
I’ve been a cancard holder for a year now it’s an amazing organisation,
We need to push to add the cultivation to the card allowing patients to grow their own medicine.

This is just an ad for the cancard
Legalise it.
People with legal possession will always be harassed until these drugs are legalised.
I’m pro legalisation even though I’m not a smoker and never have been.
Where are they finding all these leaders that are going after all these freedom loving truckers ?
Legalise and Herbalife the nation! Simples – How outdated is UK! Let people choose their medication how complicated is that????
Make it legal.
I’ve been using cannabis for chronic pain since I crushed 5 vertebrae in 2008 and I still have to break the law and grow my own medication.
its not drastik i wood not be hir if it wasent for my smoke it makes u happy and get on
I seem to remember politicians recently repeating that we ‘must follow the science’. Amazing that this doesn’t apply to drug laws, instead they are quite happy to criminalise people (except themselves) over laws that are based on racism, corporate greed and lies.
Just legalise it. It will free up police time and resources and in addition to its medicinal benefits, it will be a huge boost to the economy. This ongoing prohibition is ridiculous.
The medical root to legalisation in the uk won’t ever become reality as we have a nhs and they aint going to fund it
It’s legal in other countries so why not Britain ? Is is because they make good money off all the fines ? I think so.
The only medicine i would accept having a passport or id for.
What a coincidence, three people with the same name. Good one sky
Absolute joke of a country. Jesus Thailand have decriminalised it. UK total joke
Come on that time weren’t a coincidence 🤣
The UK has the largest cannabis farm in Europe yet it is still illegal here. It’s all about money and no ethics, legalise it, tax it and legalise the right to grow.
Just buy it of the streets or online easy as ordering a pizza strait to door by royal mail
