Seven years on from the legalisation of medical cannabis in the UK, the lines between the clinical and the criminal have started to blur.

In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, host Sian Phillips takes a sharp, sardonic look at the uncomfortable truth - that the “medical” and “legacy” cannabis markets now share more similarities than differences.

From pricing and quality to branding and batch errors, this episode lifts the lid on why regulation without enforcement is just PR, and why prohibition without nuance is pure nonsense.

Featuring real patient stories, a few uncomfortable truths, and a wry nod to the irony of progress, this one’s for anyone who thinks they know the difference between street weed and prescription flower.
