538: 520: 988:"(Which has many side effects)" - I think there should be a sensible discussion about what many side effects looks like and means; and what the person who inserted that was thinking at the time. Has anybody ever looked at, for example, other pain relieving medications that are generally recognised as safe for comparison, like say, I don't know; ibuprofen? IMHO the statement shouldn't be there, it's for professionals to decide what many side effects looks like; there's side effects (that fwiw are similar) to cannabis use too. 623: 602: 633: 444: 426: 454: 380: 355: 271: 250: 737: 711: 281: 219: 190: 879:
With alcohol there would be -one expects- an increased incidence of death from cold exposure when consuming alcohol in colder climates and dangerous dehydration and/or heat stroke in hotter climes but this dose not appear to be so for cannabis. Therefore, those things rightfully belong in other articles and not in a UK orientated article such as this. --

Why does the article make no reference to the growing concern about the mental health risks of cannabis? The work of Robin Murray, of London's Maudsley Hospital, should surely at least be mentioned. If the claims of the 'medical cannabis' lobby can be repeated here, when few serious doctors support

Concerned with the implication that "cannabis" was common in Britain. Hemp, used for ropes and sackcloth, is low in cannabinoids. The word cannabis was unknown historically, being a modern term exclusively describing plant products processed for narcotic use. This article seems to be using weasel

The article is still very much work in progress. However, there appear to me to be no claims from the medical 'lobby' that I can see here. Moreover, the risk/benefit health considerations tend to be independent (unless you know something that I don't) of geographical location. For instance:

Just for later reference, I'm noting here that I did an extensive cleanup of this article in late 2016, including removing an unencyclopedic section on prices, removing unsourced content, and adding a lot of historical information about how cannabis (as a drug) arose in the UK and its early

This article needs rewriting as it looks to the casual user as a page the promotes use of Cannabis and contains too much information about how to buy the drug and the sizes its sold in.

The section titled "Cannabis' enduring legacy on British culture" is a joke, full of unsourced weasel-words. Can we not get rid of it?
