Nearly 20,000 Britons are using £20 'cannabis cards' that are available without a prescription

Post by The Aspie Toker »

Nearly 20,000 Britons are using £20 'cannabis cards' that are available without a prescription and allow them to avoid arrest if they are using the drug to treat medical conditions, organisers say

"Around 20,000 people in the UK are now holders of a 'cannabis card', which effectively decriminalises the drug for medicinal users.

Around three and a half million people with health conditions are eligible for the Cancard under the private scheme, which was introduced in November last year.

Those with illnesses such as cancer, depression, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis are eligible to apply for the £20 card through their GP, even without a prescription for the drug.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

I have one. I haven’t had to use it at any point, but I’d rather look like I’m doing things responsibly. I think they’re looking at including growing later on, but don’t quote me on it

I applied for one the other month have not heard anything back yet but think I got my dr email wrong as it was hard to find, should have got my front page instead. If they do that be good news but I can imagine another company jumping in front of them I mean growing wise or it is a gov one but can't see anything like that happening anytime soon thanks to covid but it would be nice
