In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian uncovers the cringe-worthy timeline of how UK cannabis policy has religiously shadowed the US – even when it made no sense.
From Anslinger to PoCA, we follow the historic game of copycat that turned an evidence-free moral panic into decades of failed policy. Spoiler: there never was any science behind the Misuse of Drugs Act. Just a lot of misplaced loyalty and lazy law-making.
