But is this driving Britain towards a catastrophic mental health crisis? There are now around 25 private clinics supplying cannabis products to some 80,000 people across Britain, according to Releaf, a licensed London-based medical cannabis provider. These types of medical cannabis are usually vaped (using devices similar to e-cigarettes) or taken as drops of oil under the tongue.

That was up from just 4 per cent in 2019 when medical cannabis prescriptions were first introduced on the island.
