Recent studies conducted at the UCLA have shown that any mental issues linked to cannabis are in cases of those who consumed it on a regular basis in their teen years.

The UK economy has been battered by covid. As has people’s mental health. Many have turned to alcohol which has far more serious side affects than cannabis ever could. Legalisation would help both of these issues immensely.
