Is cannabis legal?

Cannabis laws have changed and it’s been reclassified as a Class B drug. This means it remains illegal to sell, possess, or allow the use of cannabis in your own home, but the police can deal with it, at their discretion, with a caution.

In addition, especially if you’ve been taking it for a while now, you might want to find out more about the effects and risks of taking cannabis. Cannabis comes in different forms and is taken different ways; each of these can lead to a range in intensity of effects and risks.
