Germany did it.
Portugal’s been doing it.
Malta went all in.
Meanwhile, in Britain?
You can see a billboard for medical cannabis on your way to court for possessing a gram.

I’ve been quietly investigating water contamination in the UK’s supply chain, submitting FOI requests to nearly every water company for data spanning the past five years.
I’m now beginning to receive official lab results — and what’s emerging is deeply concerning.
Here’s what one water company’s data shows:
– One water sample recorded 1.8 MILLION µg/L of lead — that’s 180,000 times the UK legal limit (10 µg/L)
– Multiple spikes in iron, copper, aluminium, manganese, and nickel
– No data disclosed on microplastics, PFAS (forever chemicals), or pharmaceuticals
– Every breach triggered internal risk reviews — but no public warnings are mentioned in the FOI response
Yes — this is pre-treatment data.
But if contamination is this high at the source, it raises serious questions about infrastructure, monitoring, and public transparency.
This is just one company. More data is on the way.
The British public deserves to know what might be in their water.
P.S. A big thank you to @JoshFerme for looking over the data — and apologies for mispronouncing your surname after all these years.

STUCK FARMER
This is a clownman who said not just a month ago that it was a choice between destroying family farmers or the nhs waiting lists.
£17.28 billion to Ukraine.
123,429 farmers would need to die to raise £17.28 billion, taking 247 years at 500 estates per year

The entire cannabis community is abuzz with German legalization. Not only is this a massive windfall for cannabis producers around the world with access to markets in the European Union, but it’s also a regulatory call-to-order for every other country that has resisted adopting a more up-to-date approach to medical cannabis access.
Already, countries like France, Spain and Czechia are racing toward a more balanced approach to medical cannabis access. I expect additional countries to make announcements this year as well. The global medical cannabis explosion is imminent, and money is moving toward the EU and international markets.

An announcement from @SeedOurFuture_, the single most important patient resource to support in our opinion.
Guy Coxall helps numerous patients with legal issues, and the service he provides is indispensable:
"Hi all, as most of you are aware, I’ve been supporting MC patients with their legal and discrimination cases for free for the past 3 years.
I love the work I do as I am passionate in bringing an end to the legal challenges, stigma and discrimination patients face and in supporting patients when there is no other support available (unless you pay thousands to a law firm for something that is ultimately legal).
The past six months has been increasingly difficult for me due to the surge in patient numbers and cases. I often work seven days a week and travel all over the UK. In fact I’m currently on my way to Wales for a court trial to support a patient who was unlawfully raided and beaten by police in his home for simply using his prescription and is now facing eviction by his housing association.
The truth is, I simply can’t continue on this trajectory without support. After a great deal of contemplation, I have deduced that there are three options:
· Build a cloning machine
· Ask the community to support me so that I can continue to provide a high quality service to all
· Quit before my health deteriorates
So in a nutshell, I am asking that the community come together (Unity our Shield) and support each other so that we can continue supporting patients, challenging the legislation and providing education to authorities, institutions and businesses to end the stigma.

I thank you in advance for your support – Guy Coxall"

German police encourage England fans to smoke CANNABIS instead of drinking at the Euros 🪴
Why?
“They said alcohol makes fans 'aggressive' while cannabis 'chills them out'” 😎

This week marks 6 entire years since we were forced away from our home so my child wouldn’t die after his GP was ordered to stop prescribing his NHS funded whole plant cannabis medicine.
Days later we returned to the UK with his life saving medicine. It was seized by border force, prompting a national outcry.
Within days my beautiful, brave little boy was taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition.
The next morning the home office returned his medicine resulting in his NHS perscription cannabis been reinstated and UK Cannabis law changed to allow perscription of medical cannabis. 2 days later Billy was discharged and raced out through the hospital doors to meet the worlds press.
Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that cannabis is his life-saving medicine.

With cannabis I look normal. I don't shake, I don't stutter, I don't constantly shout things, I don't have seizures and best of all I can go to the toilet all by myself. Without it however, my reality is very different.
Cannabis helps me mask but doesn't stop me being disabled.

If you smell cannabis in public, leave the person alone. They may have a prescription, or might be a potential patient that is self-medicating in the meantime.
We could all do with giving more empathy, compassion, and understanding to those who consume #cannabis 🌱💨

So, to compensate for HMRC ignoring tax dodging millionaires, from today, HMRC is going after people trying to make a few extra quid selling things on online marketplaces like Ebay and Vinted.
If you wanted to sum up the state of the UK right now, this does it perfectly 🙄🤬

How can we have a Health Secretary who “opted out” of serious and current issues. Obesity here is the worst in Europe. Ironically people who consume cannabis have lower BMI’s than non consumers. Hm… – at Milton Keynes, England
Bad news already, according to @TheIPaper.
Supposedly the Health Secretary has 'opted out' of wider #MedicalCannabis reform, which could improve healthcare nationwide.
Are patients meant to suffer because of worries over negative personal press coverage?
