Cancard - Medical Cannabis

Just came across this police-backed initiative. It provides proof that you have a medical condition for which cannabis is a treatment, so that you don't get arrested. https://www.cancard.co.uk/ Looks to apply even if you don't currently have a cannabis prescription. Happy days 😁
