Cannabis Could Be Legal In The United Kingdom Within 5 To 10 Years

3 MPs from three main political parties believe that Marijuana/Weed/Cannabis can be legalized in the United Kingdom in the next 5 or 10 years.

Marijuana is still illegal in the United Kingdom, but it is considered as the most popular drug in the country.

A study suggests that 30 percent of adults in the UK said that they have tried the drug.

Dave Lammy of the Labours Party, Jonathan Djanogly of the Conservative Party, and Sir Norman Lamb from the Liberal Democrats Party visited a weed factory in Canada for a documentary.

The three politicians visited a factory in Canada for the BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat Documentary.

In the trip, Dave Lamy said that his opinion was “significantly” shifted.

He said, “I want the market legalized and regulated, taken away from criminal gangs, young people not criminalized by use and properly educated. But I want to see the strength of the stuff reduced, labeled and properly organized in our country.”

Sir Norman Lamb has led the campaign to legalize marijuana in the United Kingdom.

It is reported that during the trip to Canada, Sir Norman bought some Marijuana oil and tried it.

The oil that was bought by Sir Lamb was different from CBD oil, which is available to buy in the UK.

Sir Lamb said that he did not feel high when he tried the oil.

He added that he took it so he could sleep better.

Sir Lamb explained, “Taking this oil is purely for sleeping for relaxation. I will take it before bed and before my flight home.”

He added, “I was really anxious because I had the hearing of the technology and science select committee the next day and I was traveling back overnight, and I just thought if I get back having had no sleep it will be a challenge.”

Jonathan Djanogly of the Conservative Party said that he was not in favor of legalizing the drug in the country.

Jonathan said that he was “open” to the idea and said that they still have to learn a lot of things before legalizing recreational marijuana.

He said, “I think we have got a lot to learn before the legalization of recreational cannabis, which I think will happen at some point. I think we’re on a 10 to 15-year cycle which would mirror what has happened in Canada.”
