The legalization of cannabis in the US shows no signs of slowing down – but the prospect of a green rush in the UK, experts say, is “bleak”. According to a 2018 survey commissioned by the drug policy thinktank Volteface, which has ties to Hanway, 59% of the British public supports cannabis legalization. And there is not an industry-funded medical marijuana lobby insisting on the issue’s urgency. It was the biggest cannabis story in Britain since the scare about high potency “skunk” weed in the 1990s. As that happens, growing cannabis companies will start looking for effective arguments to persuade the public in Britain and other countries.
