We seem to be a little behind the curve in the UK on this - possibly because of vested interests of big pharma and politicians or outdated opinions of cannabis as a drug only for recreational use.

Linky is blocked at clientco. Paediatric autism treatments seems a little niche for world cup half time advertising though - there must be another group that's being targeted here. I'm guessing it's dickheads.

Yep: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...is-switzerland but you still can't take them over the border into Germany. however, I expect you'll probably get lung cancer before getting high smoking them.

Like everything else at Holland & Barrett, nothing.

Oh wait, that's what it actually does. Not sure what it's supposed to do…

As a natural component of cannabis consumed in the usual manner, it's blamed for causing the munchies. So probably not recommended if you're on a diet

TV advert for cannabis oil?

Saw an advert on TV last night for cannabis oil, but it just called it three letters and not advertising as cannabis as such.

Options are to drop oil into your mouth, or to vape - intriguingly Holland and Barrett are stockists.

Has the world gone mad?
