cannabis... and the law :)

Show all headers | View raw

### - smile, was researching online for reviews of various strains, have  
seen quite a few...

and came across this dude on youtube reviewing one of the most expensive  
ones (Atlantic Glue @ £10 per g) which was interesting enough to then  
check out some of his other reviews, and am looking through what is  
actually quite a long list of vids and reading some of the comments and  
stuff, when i come across some remarks re the legal side of things?

this guy turning out to be a kind of activist in his own right as one of  
his short vids shows him collecting his confiscated cannabis items from  
the police station, my keen interest being aroused at this point as to  
what happened and why, and he's made some videos about it!

and so here he is reviewing medical strains and now also giving legal  
advice via his channel to users about what to do about it if arrested and  
there's a debate as to what's legal and what's not, and i'm getting more &  
more interested by the minute?

e.g., in the comments one person relating a personal event in starbucks  
and a manager being nasty to them and calling the police when this person  
started vaping cannabis in there (laughing, coz that IS a bit cheeky  
innit) and our man coming back to them saying that's all wrong, the law  
having changed businesses are supposed to make reasonable adjustments for  
disabled people being prescribed cannabis, in coffeebars, cinemas, on  
buses/trains, and/or on/in whatever other public services, OR you can sue  
them!!! and lol this includes suing the police for wrongful arrest!  
(currently worth about £1,500) and apparently by law they haven't got a  
leg to stand on and you WILL win AND be compensated!

this particular dude and his channel making a point of 'educating' various  
businesses and police stations by writing to them, and, if neccessary, by  
example and collecting any compensations via no-win-no-fee solicitors  
who're apparently only too happy to take-on such cases because they win  
every time! and matey's encouraging others to do the same as a means to  
spreading the word about medical usage now being legal!

all this revealing the state of play only 2 weeks ago with the law and  
medical users in the uk and what's actually going-on in society today  
because of it, this dude taking it upon himself to 'educate' various  
businesses (and police stations heh) due to people being discriminated  
against for having to take a prescribed medicine, something that's not a  
problem with any other medicines but is with cannabis that has to be  
inhaled and that has a distinct smell...

smile, i'd wanted to find out a bit more about the law and all this didn't  
i, and now i have, cheers, although this particular dude got raided at  
home for possession and had his items confiscated (which is how he's now  
got a video of him collecting it from the police station a few days later  
when they realised they had to give it back!!!)

he'd told them at the time he was a medical user and showed them his  
prescriptions (which they immediately claimed were fake) and refused to  
call his clinic for confirmation... him ultimately seeing all this as  
being yet another police station being educated about 'the law' (in which  
ignorance is no defense, especially for the police) and thus hopefully  
wont be raiding any others before at least checking out if they're medical  
users or not...

iow: as yet there's clearly no available database of medical users for the  
police to refer to!

he has a link to a government guidelines leaflet he got hold of regarding  
these laws, which, although am not going to be using or carrying any  
around in public anytime soon, i think i'd like a copy of to keep at home  
just in case, this is the link to that video & leaflet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr52980bfbM

basically, as long as you're at home doing it (coz they's not quite sure  
yet about people using in public), you have a valid prescription, and some  
kind of an approved medical vaping-kit to do it with (because 'smoking' it  
is still illegal), then technically you're allowed to do it and you can't  
be raided or arrested for it, this apparently being extended to public  
usage as well on the basis that people may need to take their medications  
wherever they are and it's no one else's business what what they do... to  
be asked to leave a restaurant or a bus because of it being classed as  
unreasonable!

interesting huh, especially if/when the police themselves often don't know  
the law?

lol this dude might make a weed-activist of me yet haha, coz he's right! :D
