Is The UK Legalising Weed In 2018?

The video discusses the evolving stance on cannabis legality in the UK. Initially deemed unlikely under Theresa May, recent announcements by the UK Home Secretary allow specialist doctors to prescribe cannabis-derived medicines for exceptional clinical needs. Despite being a major exporter, the UK had strict laws classifying cannabis as a schedule one drug. New laws reclassify some cannabis-derived medicines, easing research and prescription. The change was driven by public outcry over denied cannabis oil for epilepsy. While not a step towards recreational legalization, future changes remain possible as global trends shift.
