@thetimes: One in 25 Jersey islanders have a medicinal cannabis prescription — 40 times the UK rate — but side-effects and loopholes are starting to worry doctors.⁠ ⁠ It is a statistic that makes this tiny, affluent British crown dependency among the world’s most heavily prescribed populations. By comparison, just 0.1 per cent of the population in the UK have legal prescriptions.⁠ ⁠ But now, the industry is coming under increased scrutiny.⁠ ⁠ Samuel Lovett, reporter for The Sunday Times went to Jersey to find out more.⁠ *For news purposes* #jersey #uknews #health #medical #investigation

Just legalise it and tax it. It's weed, not Meth. Cannabis is an order of magnitude less harmful than alcohol, which is legal.

We just need to legalise and regulate it, it's baffling we continue to stick with ineffectual prohibitionism that only serves to fund organised crime instead

The uk is one of the biggest and was the biggest exporter of medical cannabis in the world. The idea that it’s also illegal is hugely hypocritical.

It’s because legalisation is lagging, allowing medical companies to make a lot of tax-free money. Legalise, regulate, tax.

They talk about the risk of psychosis however that can also be a side affect of many commonly prescribed antidepressants/ antipsychotics

You know you can easily be prescribed medical cannabis anywhere in the uk, not just in Jersey?

Because Jersey is - and always has been - the coolest place in Europe. Just full of legends having a great time making big money. I recommend you move here
