UK Cannabis Users & Former Users - Legalisation Experiences

What are your thoughts on cannabis use in the UK? Hi everyone, I'm an MA Journalism student at Cardiff University currently working on my final major project, which examines the question: Is it high time the UK legalised cannabis? Rather than focusing solely on politicians and campaign groups, I want to hear from people with real-life experience. I'm looking to speak to: \\\\\\\- Medical cannabis patients (whether prescribed legally through a clinic or self-medicating) \\\\\\\- Recreational cannabis users \\\\\\\- Former users \\\\\\\- People who support or oppose legalisation based on their own experiences Some of the things I'd love to hear about include: \\\\\\\- Why you use (or used) cannabis. \\\\\\\- Whether you've ever tried to access medical cannabis legally through the UK system. \\\\\\\- How easy or difficult it has been to obtain. \\\\\\\- Whether current UK laws have affected you in any way. \\\\\\\- Your views on legalisation or decriminalisation \\\\\\\- Whether you think legalisation would improve or worsen public health, crime, or society more generally. \\\\\\\- If cannabis were legalised, how you think it should be regulated (age limits, licensed shops, home growing, potency limits, taxation, etc.). I'm interested in hearing from people across the UK with any viewpoints - if you hate the stuff and can’t stand the smell, I want to hear that too! If you're happy for your experiences to potentially be quoted in my project, please reply to this message. I can use your Reddit username, a first name only, or keep you completely anonymous if you prefer. If you'd rather not post publicly, feel free to send me a DM or email me on [email redacted] Thanks!
