About Us

About Us

Cannabis.org.uk is an independent platform dedicated to educating the UK public about cannabis policy, legislation, and societal impact. Our goal is to provide reliable, fact-based information on cannabis use, regulation, research, and reform within the United Kingdom.

We do not sell cannabis or cannabis-related products. We are not affiliated with the medical industry, nor do we offer personal legal advice. Instead, we aim to serve as a neutral resource for individuals seeking to understand the evolving landscape of cannabis in the UK—whether from a medical, legal, social, or policy standpoint.

Our Mission

To support an informed, responsible, and evidence-led public conversation about cannabis in the UK by:

  • Explaining current cannabis laws and regulations in clear, accessible terms.
  • Highlighting ongoing policy developments and their social and legal impacts.
  • Providing educational resources to reduce stigma, promote safety, and encourage informed choices.
  • Offering insights into the broader social, medical, and economic context of cannabis in the UK.

Who We Help

Consumers and Patients

We help everyday individuals better understand their rights, responsibilities, and options under current UK cannabis laws. Whether you’re exploring medicinal cannabis treatments, curious about legal status in your area, or seeking safety information - Cannabis.org.uk provides unbiased guidance. We also explore how cannabis is currently accessed through legal prescriptions, what conditions may be eligible, and how NHS and private pathways differ.

Researchers and Policymakers

Our content provides data-driven insight into cannabis legislation, social equity concerns, and economic outcomes across the UK. By presenting survey trends, public opinion, and research summaries, we help support evidence-based policy discussions. We also summarise regulatory developments from devolved administrations - highlighting how laws differ across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Businesses and Advocacy Groups

While we do not provide legal or commercial consulting, our platform offers a starting point for those interested in understanding the cannabis-related regulatory environment in the UK. We explain the framework for licences (where applicable), research opportunities, and commercial pilot programmes. We also showcase discussions surrounding proposed regulatory reforms, industry standards, and emerging trends from around the world.

Our Values

  • Accuracy: All our content is reviewed and grounded in current UK law and public records.
  • Impartiality: We do not promote or discourage cannabis use. We focus on education and transparency.
  • Access: We believe everyone should have access to clear, accurate, and stigma-free information.
  • Accountability: We update our content regularly in response to legal, scientific, or policy changes.

Transparency and Community

Cannabis.org.uk is not affiliated with any political party, licensed cannabis producer, or lobbying group. We collaborate with educators, health researchers, and civil society organisations to ensure our platform reflects a broad range of perspectives.

We also invite feedback from the public, advocates, and experts. If you would like to contribute, share information, or raise an issue, you can contact us at info@cannabis.org.uk.

A Note on Scope

Cannabis laws in the UK are rapidly evolving—but remain restrictive compared to other jurisdictions. We strive to reflect the current legal reality, while highlighting areas of potential reform and public interest debate. Our goal is to empower individuals to make informed decisions, stay compliant, and engage in productive dialogue.
