In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, we take a blunt look at the Daily Fail and its ongoing attempt to convince the British public that prescribed cannabis is somehow a moral crisis. It is not. It is medication, and adults are using it to manage pain, PTSD, neurological conditions, and everyday health concerns while journalists cling to nostalgia and panic.
We drag outdated narratives, revisit uncomfortable bits of the Fail’s history (including its very enthusiastic black shirts era), and ask why medical autonomy terrifies the tabloids more than cocaine, jazz, or Meghan Markle. As other countries regulate and research, Britain is stuck on panic mode. The carousel keeps spinning.
