We'd just like to take this moment to honour Sir Patrick Stewart, who was instrumental to the media campaign which first enabled #MedicalCannabis to be legalised in the UK.
Alongside the late great @Hannah_Deacon40 💔
True national heroes, we all owe them a debt of gratitude.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to:

Constant communication is what makes autonomy like this safe. Early contact lets us take maneuvering responsibility, publish ephemeris faster than ground radar can catalog the object, and deorbit and keep commanding through demise if needed
We treat early communications as a requirement, not a nice-to-have

Misconceptions and labels can add to the burden patients already carry.
Education and empathy matter.
Let’s keep the conversation going.

We’ve submitted a formal complaint to UK police leaders.
Calling the smell of cannabis a “sign of crime” harms legal medical cannabis patients.
This fuels stigma, misdirects police, and puts disabled people at risk.
We’re calling for clarification, reform & an apology. 💚

We know Mr. John John, the industry knows too – @Releaf_UK seem to have converted the old @cannabisaccess1 site (formerly a real clinic) to some form of fake review website, where Releaf is treated as the best by default (for over a year). We've received numerous complaints/messages about it.
They seem to have created the Strains.uk platform by scraping strain information from other sites, then using AI to reprocess data and fill in gaps, while attempting to masquerade it as genuine information - all seemingly just to advertise Releaf. There was even a period where they were reliably covering new medical launches as new 'strains' there, seemingly just to advertise Releaf under.
Furthermore we've previously been sent evidence of targeted PPC advertising for specific conditions noting cannabis as a treatment, while being entirely unlawful to do so as an unlicensed medication.
We've had numerous claims that doctors/prescribers there are attempting to ignore patient consent/choice and force particular medications onto patients that are only sold via their own dispensing pharmacy agreement - while not properly and compliantly allowing access to all medications/pharmacies.
In general, we've received/seen numerous reports the clinic charges over RRP for medication unlike any other clinic we're aware of - and they've previously sent us legal threats when trying to provide public coverage of the on-going controversy.
We could go on, but the rest is mostly in our post history - minus some that mysteriously received DMCA takedown requests from random UAE companies.

'Since its inception, the criminalization of the marijuana plant and the stigmatization of those who consume it has been predicated almost entirely upon the promotion of gross exaggerations, racial stereotypes, and outright lies.' norml.org/blog/2025/07/30/th… via @NORML

I had a conversation recently where we were talking about Canadians having their ability to communicate online limited, where many people said that’s not true, and even @johncleese chimed in.
This is what I was talking about.

The Canadian Online News Act prevents people from sharing news links on Facebook and Instagram.
The stated purpose is to force tech companies to pay news outlets for their work, but to me that doesn’t even make sense. Posting links on social media drives traffic. The more people post links, the more traffic your news site gets.
What stopping people from posting links absolutely does, is limit the ability of people to spread information.
Then there’s the “Online Harms Act”
Which even The Atlantic described as “Canada’s Extremist Attack On Free Speech”
theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
In the article they state: “A bill making its way through the Canadian Parliament would impose draconian criminal penalties on hate speech and curtail people’s liberty in order to stop crimes they haven’t yet committed.”
These are the things I was talking about. It’s a slippery slope, and it’s moving in the wrong direction for the people of Canada.
