Next month, British MPs will debate the legalization of the production, sale, and use of cannabis after a public petition reached over 200,000 signatures. The debate has been proposed by Labour MP Paul Flynn, a longtime campaigner for cannabis reform, and will be held on October 12.
The movement to legalize cannabis in the UK is well established, but this is the first time since 2004 that MPs have specifically debated legalizing the drug.
James Owen, a Welsh university student, started the petition back in July, and spoke to us then about his ambitions.
