Are You Eligible for Medical Cannabis in the UK?
Medical cannabis has been legal for prescription in the UK since November 2018, when the government rescheduled cannabis-based products for medicinal use under specialist oversight. Yet, access remains limited — and many patients are still unsure whether they qualify. Here’s a clear, evidence-based overview of who may be eligible and how the process works, both through the NHS and private clinics. ✅ General Eligibility for Medical Cannabis in the UK You may be eligible for a

Cannabis Education Is Harm Reduction — Not Promotion
Across the UK, conversations about cannabis are still shadowed by stigma and fear. For decades, education around the plant has been almost non-existent — replaced instead by a narrative of criminalisation, shame, and misinformation. At Haze Labs, we believe that the absence of education is what fuels harm. Real harm doesn’t come from open discussion; it comes from silence, secrecy, and misunderstanding. That’s why we say clearly: Cannabis education isn’t promotion — it’s harm

A Call for Compassion: Why the UK Must Decriminalise Cannabis and Support Community Clubs
In 2025, the UK still criminalises people for using a plant that more than 2 million citizens rely on for pain relief, anxiety, sleep, and wellness. Behind every statistic is a human story — a patient, a veteran, a worker, a parent — forced to navigate a system that punishes rather than supports. At Haze Labs, we believe this needs to change. The criminalisation of cannabis users has never reduced harm. It has only deepened stigma, divided communities, and blocked progress. M

Why the UK’s Medical Cannabis Access Crisis Needs More Than Prescriptions
Since 1 November 2018, the UK legalised the possibility of prescribing cannabis-based products for medicinal use (CBPMs). This milestone was widely welcomed, but nearly seven years on, many patients remain locked out of meaningful access. At Haze Labs, we believe that prescription access alone is not enough — a broader framework is urgently needed that incorporates community-based models, harm-reduction infrastructure and regulatory reform. The Promise of Medical Cannabis — a

Haze Labs’ Call for Change: Time to Build a Regulated Cannabis Social Club Model in the UK
At Haze Labs , we believe the UK can—and must—learn from what’s working elsewhere. After years of seeing countless patients, families, and community members suffer because of regulatory gaps, lack of safe supply, and criminal risk, we are calling for UK policy reform to enable regulated Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs)  with on-site cultivation, clear membership limits, and strong public-health safeguards—modelled in part on Spain’s CSCs. We’ve already done much of the groundwork
