Jay-Paul Jones | Haze Labs There comes a point in any emerging industry where attention stops mattering as much as connection. That’s where we are now. At Haze Labs, and personally for me, Jay-Paul Jones, the focus has shifted away from noise and towards people — specifically the people who were there before it was accepted. The ones who built quietly, pushed boundaries carefully, and kept going when there was little recognition for the work they were doing. Here in the UK, b

Over the past few years, a quiet shift has been taking place across the UK. Away from headlines and hype, a new kind of community-led space has begun to emerge — one focused on education, harm reduction, patient dignity, and genuine human connection. At the centre of this shift is a growing network of clubs, lounges, and safe spaces that don’t operate like traditional retail environments. Instead, they exist to support people navigating access, stigma, and wellbeing. One of t

Across the UK, conversations around cannabis are slowly changing — particularly in relation to medical use, patient support, and harm reduction. While access remains tightly regulated, new community-led models are emerging that focus not on sales or promotion, but on education, safety, and wellbeing. One such space is Haze Labs, a private members’ club based in Wales. Since its launch, the club has quietly become a hub for patients, learners, and individuals seeking a safer,

Jay-Paul Jones has become a recognised name in the UK’s emerging cannabis reform space — not for selling products, but for reshaping what legal, responsible cannabis culture can look like under UK law. In August 2023, Jay-Paul launched Haze Labs in Wales, one of the UK’s first legally compliant cannabis lounges/clubs built around education, harm reduction, patient advocacy, and community — not retail. At a time when much of the conversation around cannabis in the UK remains m

We’re incredibly proud to share something huge with our community… Haze Labs is officially the first club in the UK to partner with Doob System — a system trusted by Europe’s most professional, member-focused cannabis clubs. But this milestone isn’t just about us. 👉 It’s about YOU — our members, our patients, our community. 💚 What This Means for YOU ✨ A smoother, more welcoming experience Entry becomes faster, simpler, and completely stress-free so you can settle in and rel

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

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

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

(Written by Jay-Paul Jones — told in third person, because sometimes the story is bigger than the person writing it.) At just 25 years old, Jay-Paul Jones has already become a name synonymous with courage, innovation, and compassion in the UK’s growing medical-cannabis movement. He’s the founder of Haze Labs, the first legal community-driven cannabis club and education hub in Wales — a project that began as a simple question and grew into a quiet revolution. The Question That

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

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
