UK: Cannabis card to help millions in pain

Police chiefs are backing a new “cannabis card” that will provide de-facto decriminalisation of the drug for millions of people with health conditions.

Up to three and a half million with cancer, multiple sclerosis, depression, arthritis and several other illnesses could be eligible to use the card.

It will identify the holder as a “registered medical cannabis patient” and officers say it will give them a justification for not arresting someone in possession of the drug.

The Police Federation of England and Wales, which represents rank and file officers, has endorsed the scheme and the National Police Chiefs Council, which represents senior officers, is working with the card’s organisers on design and implementation.
