How do you think this was handled?

Was the staff discriminating or were they doing the right thing?

What a weekend. 💚🌿

From Chester to Liverpool, this weekend was all about COMMUNITY 🤝

A massive thank you to for putting on an incredible pop-up event in Chester. Seeing so many patients come together and make the most of what should have been MedCan weekend was something special 💚

Huge respect to the whole PatientsCann team for creating a safe, welcoming space for the community, and thank you for inviting us to be part of it. We’re excited for what the future holds and look forward to working together again 🙌

After Chester, we headed straight to Liverpool for our own Seedyside × The Hydroponics Store pop-up event at The Chillin Rooms 🔥

A huge thank you to legendary cannabis campaigner Gary Youds for opening the doors to such an iconic venue, and to the incredible Chillin Rooms team for helping make the night such a massive success. The energy, the conversations, the laughs, the connections… unforgettable 💨✨

Most importantly — THANK YOU to every single person who attended both events in Chester & Liverpool.

This weekend proved once again how powerful this community really is when we come together. So many genuine connections were made, so many stories were shared, and this feels like only the beginning 🌱

More community events.
More safe spaces.
More education.
More unity.

The movement keeps growing 💚

A Space For Patients At Cannabis Europa brings an interactive sensory experience to the Barbican Centre on 26 and 27 May 2026. Presented by Ka Pharmaceuticals and KAST (Ka Aromatic Sensory Translation), this collaborative space features a groundbreaking terpene workshop designed to present terpenes in a completely new light. The session is specifically structured to help individuals with deprived sensory abilities better understand and identify these vital compounds.

In addition to the workshop, patients will have access to a Near-Infrared (NIR) tester on site. This advanced technology allows attendees to instantly analyse and identify cannabinoids, terpenes, and other key plant components.

The space is co-organised with We, The Patients supported by , , , Irish Medicinal Cannabis Council, and independent patient advocates. 50 free tickets have been shared with community patients to ensure grassroots access.

PatientsCann UK welcomes a UK-first policy from Devon Partnership NHS Trust, establishing a clear pathway for medical cannabis patients.

Devon Partnership NHS Trust has formally approved CD21, a landmark Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) titled Use of Cannabis-Based Medicinal Products (CBMPs) and Cannabidiol (CBD) on Inpatient Units. This historic development gives patients a safe, structured, and lawful framework to continue their prescribed treatments while admitted to hospital.

The policy defines how CBMPs are handled, stored, prescribed, and administered, including clear guidelines for administration via a vapouriser. Notably, the official NHS document explicitly references and includes links and images from PatientsCann UK resources to support clinical staff.

To expand the impact of this milestone, PatientsCann UK has contacted major professional bodies and decision-makers across the NHS. We are sharing these findings and urging other trusts to integrate this SOP, ensuring patient rights and continuity of care are protected nationwide.
