    <div>The KanaVape, which contains hemp, has been legalised for use in France by people with cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS) and other conditions requiring pain relief.
    Its creators told The Independent it will go on sale around the world tomorrow but the Home Office has cast doubt on whether that would be legal, saying the product must be tested for controlled substances.

    <div style="text-align:center;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, Optima, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;"> 
     
     

    </div>Antonin Cohen and Sebastien Beguerie said the KanaVape cannot be compared to a joint or spliff because it does not contain THC, the chemical credited with causing cannabis highs.
    A statement on its website said the product is made from certified hemp, which contains far less of the chemical than marijuana, and “does not have any psychoactive or euphoric effect”.
    [​IMG]<span>The KanaVape hemp vapouriser </span> It is one of more than 60 active “cannabinoids” in the plant, which have varying effects including relaxation and pain relief.
    “We made KanaVape to give millions of people a legal and tasteful way of using cannabinoids,” Mr Cohen and Mr Beguerie said.
    “We craft our production with love, care and scientific research. KanaVape is good for our customers and good for the planet.”
    The website boasts that the vaporiser allows the enjoyment of the “original flavour” of hemp without the accompanying smoke or psychotic effects.
    “Stay relaxed, keep a clear mind and an active lifestyle with KanaVape – anytime, anywhere,” it says. “It will not make you ‘high' but will help you relax.”
    [​IMG]<span>Different strains of hemp with varying cannabinoid content are grown for different uses </span> The hemp inside contains 5 per cent cannabidiol, which is being tested for medical applications around the world.
    Licences are available to grow hemp in the UK and it can be legally sold in certain forms, including oil, paper and clothing.
    A spokesperson for the Home Office said KanaVape would have to be tested for illegal substances before going on sale.
    “Cannabis is classed as an illegal drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971,” he added.
    "It is an offence to supply and possess a controlled drug and to supply any article believing it to be used for their administration.”
    The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is responsible for approving products for medical use.

  3. i wouldnt buy that at all..
     
  4. It's a bit 50/50 really, it could be the first step to legalization but again, the first step away from THC. There are a few politicians which do actually support legalization of weed and with America starting to legalize, maybe the Uk could be next.
     
  5.  
     
    keep dreaming lol, no way in hell uk will be next.. MP's get paid tons of money not to allow it to happen you think they care about the 1Billion profit they will make after taxing it? nope
     
    (unless you have obama saying pretty pls to that right cunt then yeah it might happen next year :D )
     
  6. Canada will be next as long as Trudeau gets in and sticks to his word.
     
  7.  
    man if they do, im moving there..
     
  8. Take me with you as long as it's a decent bit
     
  9. not to put a downer on what you said but anyone who says "fink" instead of "think" isn't just high.. Your stupid. I'm all for decriminalisation of cannabis.. But who do you call when you get burgled?.. The police. It's not a problem with police.. It's a problem with politics.
     
  10. I put you In my suitcase or you pay for a ticket and we cut trees all day :p

    MPs are set to debate whether the UK should legalise the production, sale and possession of cannabis after a petition calling for drug law reform attracted more than 200,000 signatures. The government confirmed a debate led by Labour MP Paul Flynn will take place in Westminster Hall on 12 October. Flynn, MP for Newport West, has campaigned for the cannabis reform for 25 years and is also a long-time advocate of medical marijuana.
    The debate is in response to a popular parliamentary petition that argued legalising cannabis could bring in "£900m ($1.3bn) in taxes every year, save £400m ($614m) on policing cannabis and create over 10,000 new jobs". The petition took just four days to amass 125,000 signatures after it was launched in July.
    However, it is unlikely the debate will have any effect on the current drugs laws. In response to the petition, a government spokesperson said: "Substantial scientific evidence shows cannabis is a harmful drug that can damage human health. There are no plans to legalise cannabis as it would not address the harm to individuals and communities."
    A similar parliamentary debate on the UK's drug policy that took place last October saw only 21 out of a possible 650 MPs attend. The discussion was in response to a ground-breaking Home Office report that said there is "no obvious relationship" between imposing penalties for drug taking and levels of drug use. The report, presented Liberal Democrat home office minister Norman Baker, was the first time an official government report praised the advantages of decimalising drugs.
    However, now the Tories are no longer in a coalition government with the Lib Dems since its majority win in May's general election, the party has imposed stricter drug laws in the UK, with a crackdown on so-called 'legal highs' becoming one of the first policies it introduced.
    Following confirmation of the debate, Clear UK, Britain's biggest pro-cannabis reform group, are urging people to write to their MPs to ask them to attend the discussion. A spokesperson added: "Make it very clear that you expect them to attend the debate and you want them to represent your views. If you can, arrange to meet your MP at their constituency surgery to explain in person what you want them to say."

    Jon Liebling of the United Patients Alliance, which claims to represent 7,500 medicinal cannabis users, said: "We are thrilled the Petitions Committee have decided there will be a debate. We urge all our MPs to participate in an informed, pragmatic, evidence-based, compassionate debate.
    "[It should result] at the very least in allowing sick people a legitimate, effective medicine that vastly improves their quality of life without fear of criminalisation."
    A government spokesperson added: "Despite the potential opportunity offered by legalisation to raise revenue through taxation, there would be costs in relation to administrative, compliance and law enforcement activities, as well as the wider costs of drug prevention and health services.
    "The UK's approach on drugs remains clear: we must prevent drug use in our communities; help dependent individuals through treatment and wider recovery support; while ensuring law enforcement protects society by stopping the supply and tackling the organised crime that is associated with the drugs trade. The government will build on the Drugs Strategy by continuing to take a balanced and coherent approach to address the evolving challenges posed."
