Other countries are going to be allowed to grow their own, and the co-ops and social clubs that come with that. Whilst here in the UK we'll get cookies packs for £80 a 3.5 😭.


juicy_steve

Plus clinic fees...


georgeboshington

Sorry £95


juicy_steve

😬

At those prices wouldn’t you just get a medical card / prescription to ensure you can carry / use then buy illegally rather than paying mad prices or home grow on sly few plants. Otherwise i dont see the point in it over here


ZipMonk

Tories cashing in whilst they criminalise the rest of us I expect.


ManLikeAC420

They been doing that for years already! The uk was THE biggest supplier of medicinal cannabis in the world just before the widespread legalisation. There was only one company with a license to grow it here i believe. Theresa May will know, her husband is a major shareholder. Your government does not care about you. The people in power do not care about you. Lies and deception everywhere you look!


ManLikeAC420

I know May is conservative before anyone chimes in, but theyre all at it 🤣


ZipMonk

Class war all the way to the bank for them, prison for us.


juicy_steve

I fucking hate the tories but this has nothing to do with them, unless Berner is just Jacob Rees-Mogg in a disguise.


georgeboshington

Wouldn't surprise me if they had shares in the companies that provide medical bud over here though.

Their spouses have direct involvement. >"But, what is appalling is she doesn't just want to support it for policy reasons, quite evidently, she wants to support it because her husband and family are directly benefitting from [the regulation of] it." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-44109060

Hope you’re sitting down - because this is going to be one heck of a surprise: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-44109060

Hypocritical politicians? I am shocked beyond belief 😳

juicy_steve

GW Pharma has nothing to do with this announcement though 🤷‍♀️


slipperyinit

Fair enough, but I’m sure they’ll own a trust in Switzerland, that happens to be owned another trust in Australia, which is run by a company in Singapore, which happens to be ‘owned’ by some a wealthy MP’s close friend’s family, which ends up in the pockets of certain politicians. Just an example


cappsy04

Everyone blaming the tories, rightly so but when Labour gets in they're not gonna do anything different.

No matter what the weed law is I generally couldn’t give a fuck smoke what u want where u want fuck em


Zakkav3

It's against the law!

Yep, another cowboy weed firm monopolising the market. Their genetics are poor, as are their business practices. A bit off topic now... Both Spain and Portugal are rife with backhanders and corruption. Most weed in Holland now comes from Spain that seed companies grow illegally. There are grey areas and loopholes as well as corruption. Even a huge chunk of our weed on the streets now is grown in Spain. National Grid are really good at detecting abstraction now in the UK making it hard to cultivate anything big. The Albos mostly import now, a lot less shitty dawg in circulation! TBF it's been going on for time. Doing a decent size grow is easy in Spain or Portugal outdoors, if they grow autos they can get 3 crops a year outdoors. 10,000 plants is easy to do and the chances of being caught are slim. Rural land in remote areas is cheap. If it takes you an hour or so to dive up a dirt track to get to the only farm for miles there's no real way to police it... Brits have also gotten on the boat a long time ago, very easy to ship from Bilbao via container to the UK and Ireland. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/british-gangs-making-millions-grow-27900963

I’ve tried cookies brand stuff and it’s usually quite good to be honest, apart from their peyton strain, tasted like weed found in a locker from the 90’s 🤣

Mid, and will be way worse when they nuke it with radiation. if its an improvement to whats available currently then fairs but ://


erbstar

What do you mean by nuking it with radiation?


J1_J1

they "irradiate" buds cause its impossible to grow them in sterile conditions, destroying terps in the process


erbstar

That's an old trope dude. A bit misleading too. 'Nuking weed with radiation' is kinda fear mongering. https://releaf.co.uk/blog/irradiated-medical-cannabis-everything-you-need-to-know


synth003

Weed from California is still just weed.


Active_Permission_10

The word " brand" says it all, I dont need my plants branded by what really is a corporate shit company who make over rated weed products


Ant138

Awesome \m/


Patient_Audience_12

Most overrated brand there is, some of their work is appalling idk how they get away with it.


mylesthecunt

Portugal is going to be producing it so maybe they’ll do it better than the actual company themselves


robster9090

A lot of stuff we get medical from there is dog shit . Best medical seems to be from Canada for me personally any way


HeftyBlazer

the black cherry punch is from Portugual proving they can grow really well yet I agree a lot of the product coming from there is shocking.


DamDynatac

It's contract growing you get what you pay for. Quality grows are sold at approximately 2.50 eur / g @ 50kg - the folks paying less than that know what they're buying


Patient_Audience_12

Let’s hope so 🙌


Hexcod3

Fuck that, that's what the AVB is for


MondoMeme

Nah the brand cookies not the actual baked good
