From its role in ancient medicine to its place in today’s political and scientific debates, cannabis has a long and complex history in the United Kingdom. This video explores how attitudes, laws and cultural perceptions have shifted over centuries — from early hemp cultivation to the 20th-century prohibition era, the introduction of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and the ongoing debate around medical cannabis and research. We break down key topics including: 🌿 The historical uses of hemp in Britain 📜 How cannabis became illegal in the UK 🧠 The difference between THC and CBD ⚖️ The modern legal landscape and Class B status 🧪 Mental health concerns and scientific research 🌱 The sustainability potential of industrial hemp 🔍 How public opinion on cannabis continues to change Throughout the video, Weed Supermarket TS acts as an educational voice — offering factual, balanced, UK-specific information designed to help adults understand cannabis without misinformation or stigma.

Curious about cannabis laws and cannabinoids in the UK? In this video, we break down the key facts you need to know. We start by explaining why cannabis remains a Class B controlled drug in the UK and is illegal to possess, grow or sell without a licence. Then we explore the differences between THC, CBD and THCa. You’ll learn that pure CBD is not itself controlled under UK law but most CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC and that THCa is an acid precursor which, although not currently controlled, can easily convert into THC and is under review. This channel provides educational content only. YouTube allows educational discussions about drugs but prohibits promoting or selling them.
