In this urgent episode of The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, host Sian Phillips speaks directly to UK police officers, constabularies, and training leads. 

With legal medicinal cannabis use on the rise, forces are increasingly facing lawsuits for wrongful arrests — simply because officers have not been properly trained on the legal protections of cannabis patients.

This episode breaks down Section 5(c) of the Road Traffic Act 1988, explains why smell and THC presence are not enough to justify arrest, and issues a clear warning: arresting a lawful patient without signs of impairment is unlawful — and actionable in court.

 Getting a medicinal cannabis prescription in the UK sounds simple — until you actually try. In this episode of The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian takes a light-hearted but sharply insightful ride through the baffling, bureaucratic, and bizarre world of becoming a legal cannabis patient. 

From the official rules to the real-world hurdles, and private clinic costs, we’re unpacking the nonsense one carousel horse at a time.

The seventh spin on the Carousel brings us full circle to the great activist paradox: shouting for change while resisting it. Sian dissects the cannabis echo chamber, where "radical" often just means "repeating what didn’t work last time – but louder." 

From conspiracy bait to clickbait campaigns, we unravel how some so-called leaders are doing more for their egos than the cause. If you’ve ever wondered why progress in cannabis reform feels like trudging through syrup – this one’s for you. Sarcastic? Yes. Unfair? Hardly. 

This is what happens when the grown-ups take the mic.

In this episode of The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, our host dons the hi-vis of common sense in a sector that regularly mistakes advice for attack. When you’re the one pointing out the cliff ahead, you’re rarely thanked – especially in an industry where some would rather floor it into regulatory oblivion than tap the brakes.

It’s all about the misunderstood role of compliance guidance. Sian explores the joyless task of being labelled the “fun police” for simply warning people they’re three dodgy invoices away from a Trading Standards probe. She’s not here to ruin your business – she’s here to stop the authorities from doing it first. But hey, if you insist on hurtling toward disaster, don’t expect her to lie under oath to save your backside.

Wince-inducing truths, neurodivergent honesty, and a blunt reminder: just because someone’s waving a red flag doesn’t mean they’re your enemy. Maybe – just maybe – they’re the only one trying to keep you out of court.
