DEA: Cannabis is NOT a gateway drug
  • The US DEA has finally removed inaccurate information about the apparent “dangers” of cannabis from its website this Monday
  • The change comes after cannabis advocacy group Americans for Safe Access successfully filed a legal petition calling for the DEA to remove incorrect claims
In one of the most unlikely U-turns of the year, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has removed false information about the supposed dangers of cannabis from its official government website.

Cannabis Legalisation
Recreational Cannabis Use is Now Legal in Maine
  • You can now use and possess up to two-and-a-half ounces of cannabis, provided that you’re 21
  • Adults can legally grow up to 6 mature plants and 12 immature plants
  • However, retail sale of cannabis is still restricted; with legal sale being brought in when the moratorium (a temporary prohibition of an activity) ends in February 2018
Voters narrowly passed the ballot question in November last year, winning the vote by just 2,600 ballots (Yes: 378,288; No: 375,688). The waiting period between the vote and legalisation has expired, meaning cannabis smokers in Maine are now free to smoke up without fear of prosecution.

The Tide Effect: Is UK Cannabis Legalisation Inevitable?

Cannabis legalisation has been a hot topic for all the major news outlets yet again this week, after a new publication launched yesterday by Volteface and The Adam Smith Institute.

In the aptly named Tide Effect, author Boris Starling argues that cannabis legalisation and regulation is now inevitable due to a tidal shift in perception and the amount of countries re-visiting their cannabis laws. He argues that we should look to the market-based approach currently seen in some US states for ideas on how to approach UK Cannabis legalisation and regulation. img_9443

UKCSC Annual General Meeting 2016

Last Sunday was the UKCSC first AGM held in Leicester.

This was a chance for cannabis social clubs to come together for the first event of its kind held in the UK, showing just how far we are progressing with our idea of a legitimate cannabis social clubs movement. The talks were mainly focused on the efforts of cannabis social clubs, laws surrounding cannabis and the future of the cannabis scene here in the UK.

So, How Long Until Cannabis is Legalised in the UK?
Unless you have been living under a rock this week you will have seen that medical cannabis is getting a lot of mainstream media attention at the moment here in the UK.

So, why the sudden thrust into the media spotlight?

This is due to a new report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Drug Policy Reform which over the past 7 months has analysed thousands of studies and come to the logical conclusion that Cannabis does indeed have medicinal value, and should be prescribed by GPs to the estimated one million people in the UK currently illegally using cannabis for pain relief.
