Callum Jones, Canncare, Protecting UK Cannabis Patients

In this interview, we chat with Callum Jones, the founder and CEO of a UK-based company called Canncare. Though medical cannabis is legal in the UK, patients still face the risk of being evicted from their homes or losing their jobs for using it! Even though they follow all the necessary guidelines and jump through all the necessary hoops, they can still suffer simply because of their use of a legal medicine. Callum and his company, Canncare, are working to change that. They are helping UK medical cannabis patients fight back against unjust treatment due to their use of a completely legal medicine.

Roll a few fat ones, chill out for an hour or so, and check out this episode. It’s a good one and gives you some insight into how messed up the medical cannabis situation is in the UK, even though it has been legal for over 6 years! I hope you enjoy the episode.
