How To Join or Start a Cannabis Social Club in the UK

Here at ISMOKE we are dedicated to giving a voice to Cannabis Users, and since attending Hyde Park on 20th April we have been investigating some cannabis clubs in the UK. We were lucky enough to attend the Brighton Cannabis Club event on Saturday, meeting some great people committed to helping change Britain's cannabis laws. So what is a Cannabis club, and where can you find your local club in the UK? UK Cannabis Social Clubs (UKCSC) has written a handy guide about joining or starting a cannabis club, and we wanted to share it with our readers. If you run a cannabis social club in London or nearby feel free to email us - we are looking to feature cannabis clubs on ISMOKE Magazine as well as to attend and write about cannabis events.
