It would be taxed of course but if it were totally legal (like any other business) growers can sell it themselves. They´d also be able to make more money because the middleman will be gone. And stuff like expenses - growing gear, seeds etc would be tax deductable too.
a dream come true!
But if it was legal, they wouldn’t be looking for personal grows.
And neighbours/ others wouldn’t be bubbling you up to the authorities because the headline would be “weed is legal”
How's it growing brunchy
Thoae cali packets get printed in the uk. Even an old school friend has a small printing/poster shop in london. Always has weekly requests to reprint wedding cake or whatever hype name at the moment. Has all the small print i.e. export, cali.. please dont waste your money peeps!!
It's the marketing, same way as diamonds, champagne and cognac are (was?) more expensive, made less available and exclusive it is more people want it, I guess.I think Cali weed does make it through to the UK but all the people I know who get it have to place very large expensive orders to get it over here and if it gets seized then they still have to pay half the overall cost! I have tried a few genuine Cali weeds and can honestly say I have either had or grown better myself, I really don't get the hype with Cali Weed?
I hope we do legalise it in the UK as it will help the economy recover after leaving EU and COVID etc, specially now Amsterdam have changed their rules on it. You can guarantee they will still only allow rich large established companies to supply it though
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/exporting_cannabis?unfold=1They’re making too much cash with the way it is.
Uk- the largest exporter of medical cannabis in the world-
Yet we won’t allow our own citizens to use cannabis , as we don’t recognise it as a medicine.
Wait...what...?
When my father was dying from cancer earlier in the year, the doctors gave him liquid morphine, then oxycodone but looked horrified when I suggested cannabis oil.https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/exporting_cannabis?unfold=1
the request for information, essentially, didn't disclose any information.
I agree quite odd
This is the 2nd request for information I've seen.
there were 2 cases in 2018 (I think)where medical use was granted in court for kids with seizures, but only those 2 (can't find links with info right now). Not heard anything since, Not like you can go to your GP and ask for some bud lol
Would be nice tho
And this whilst good friend of mine gets max strength morphine thrown at her all the time to deal with pain caused by long term illness!
Policing attitude such as this does give me hope that law makers will see the lightTake it from someone who has been through the system recently as long as you grow less than 20 plants, and have no obvious signs of being a drug emperor, you will not get anything more than a small fine.
And that is for the above 8 plants catagory (I think it's between 8-20 plants) ,if you get done for the lowest level (upto and including 8) you will only get a conditional discharge and not even a fine, you will basically walk free!
And what's more is the cops do not care one bit about it and will leave everything except plants and rootballs. If you get done under the first 2 levels there is no proceeds of crime investigation, they assume you are small and not commercial, although if you have ferrari's parked outside it might be different.
OK it's still not legal but the attitude that the cops and courts have to it now is that they just cannot be bothered, they don't even want to allot any court time for the cases.
It could actually be better this way than if it's legal, especially if the govt starts making money from it when it is legal.
