Cannabis card

Cannabis will still be illegal, so I'm not really sure what the idea behind this card is. It doesn't have any official recognition does it? So it's just something you show to a police officer and he would look at it and wonder "what is this", and maybe if you are really lucky he'll have pity on you and let you off with a warning.

But if you only had a small amount for personal use then you'd probably get off with a warning anyway. The police aren't really bothered about enforcing the law on people who aren't dealing.

Also could someone explain to me why autistic people need cannabis? I'm not saying they don't, I'm just curious what the reason is. Perhaps helping with anxiety/depression and sociability?

Cannabis is illegal in the uk. Yes police do look at it and tell you that you’ve bought online.. then they look it up and see you ain’t lying. Then probably arrest you for something else.

my social worker questioned my card, all the mental health team did.. I went to court over my German shepherd and presented to them to. I show everybody this cancard to prevent me having a heart attack if somebody official knocks around unannounced like social services.

im going to say I used to grow weed at home,. The police came around for a different reason and seen the 4 plants. Took away the 4 plants, took a picture of the card.. not heard nothing ever again. 

i would show you guys it but it has my photo and nhs number lol

I like my "autism west midlands" card more. It, in conjunction with the fifty seven page manual available from this site (which explains to the police in excruciating detail how to deal with us) will allow me to shut down the next bad copper I meet, (If I ever do)

I live a quiet (and by and large, respectable) life. Breaking only the cannabis and (sometimes) speeding laws. (As far as I know, the law unfortunately is so large, complicated and hard to understand that mere mortals need a specialist to navigate it most of the time) Fortunately my Ex did a law degree and so I'm not as helpless as I could be, having soaked up some of the basics by osmosis.

The best thing to do with the police & criminals alike, is to let them play their own game and keep out of it.
