A Brief Cannabis Timeline in the UK – And Why We’re Always the Backup Dancer to the US

from The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense · host Sian Phillips

In this episode of The Never Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense, Sian uncovers the cringe-worthy timeline of how UK cannabis policy has religiously shadowed the US – even when it made no sense. From Anslinger to PoCA, we follow the historic game of copycat that turned an evidence-free moral panic into decades of failed policy. Spoiler: there never was any science behind the Misuse of Drugs Act. Just a lot of misplaced loyalty and lazy law-making.Follow us on Facebook, and listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you enjoy dismantling nonsense with a smirk.Send us a messageSupport the showThe Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense is written and produced by Sian Phillips.Music by PlayDays2021, licensed royalty-free via Adobe.All opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the host and any guests, and do not necessarily reflect those of any affiliated organisations.This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, regulatory, legal, or financial advice.You can find “The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music Podcasts. © 2025 Sian Phillips.
