If you hear a rustling in your kitchen in the middle of the night, and venture downstairs only to find your dog making an unreasonably tall sandwich, don’t be surprised. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Anilmas (ASPCA) says calls about pets getting high from accidentally eating either edible weed products or the cannabis plant itself have risen 765% over the past decade.

Seth Rogan and cannabis

 

Celebs and Cannabis are now two solid bedfellows in the industry. With Mike Tyson involved and now Seth Rogan things are taking shape nicely. Having these big names associated with Cannabis is excellent as it makes it more normalised and paves the way for others who want to get involved. Seth’s new company is based out of Canda and is called Houseplant. Check the article out for all the info.

 

April 2019Half Of Cannabis Users Think They Can Drive Safely Whilst They Are High

 

Cannabis and driving

 

This is a very serious point and can have very serious consequences. Just because you’re not on alcohol it doesn’t mean that weed is any better for you whilst driving. By its very nature, it makes you a little slower and perhaps even dozy, so that’s not a good mix for driving a car. Get caught and you can also find yourself in a bad place too. A place that won’t let you buy or grow weed that’s for sure. Take a read of the article and make sure you’re taking care when it comes to your driving!

JuneMedical cannabis firms press UK to loosen prescription rules

 

Medical cannabis in the UK

 

The world’s largest medicinal cannabis company has urged the government to allow GPs to prescribe the drug, calling on the UK to be a “leader not a laggard” in one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.

 

Cam Battley, chief corporate officer of Canada-based Aurora Cannabis, said the UK was failing patients who might benefit from medicinal cannabis, as well as forfeiting economic gain, due to the restrictions of the existing regulatory regime.

 

Sajid Javid, the home secretary, authorised the use of medicinal cannabis products last year following a long-running campaign fronted by the parents of children suffering severe epilepsy, who reported that cannabis oil helped with their condition.

 

I guess we will just have to wait and see Vault community but things are changing for the better all round.

 

July 2019 – Doctors not prescribing medicinal cannabis due to lack of clinical trials

 

Alfies Hope

 

This is the real bittersweet story of our time. We can now offer people who need it – medical cannabis. But due to red tape, regulation and lack of testing it’s proving hard to dispense it. This will get better but for now we are stuck in this crazy situation. The article does go on to point out that only 5% of people have been helped by CBD with regard to seizures, but more evidence is needed.

 

August 2019 – Luxembourg to be first European country to legalise cannabis

 

Luxembourg cannabis laws

 

Luxembourg has called on its EU neighbours to relax their drug laws as its health minister confirmed plans to become the first European country to legalise cannabis production and consumption.

 

“This drug policy we had over the last 50 years did not work,” Etienne Schneider told Politico. “Forbidding everything made it just more interesting to young people … I’m hoping all of us will get a more open-minded attitude toward drugs.”

 

Residents over the age of 18 are expected to be able to buy the drug for recreational use legally within two years. The state will regulate production and distribution through a cannabis agency.

 

Bring this on for the UK, please.

October 2019Grading cannabis strength will improve the mental health of users.

 

Grading Cannabis

 

The basics of this story are that they (the government) are thinking of grading cannabis similar to how they do with alcohol percentages. Sounds quite sensible and we think a good idea all around. What do you think?

Medical cannabis trial

 

As we touched on with the above story, there is lack of medical evidence as to how cannabis helps the human body.
