Can cannabis oil cure serious diseases like cancer BBC finally reports

Not so much effort put on cracking down on cannabis perhaps (largely because the authorities are well aware that it's not that damaging, and it's better for them to keep an eye on its trafficking than to shut down every dealer they know about so that they have no future leads) but drugs in general are definitely targeted by law. MXE and 4MMC went from totally legal to class B with no real research going into them, and aMT went from the same completely legal state to a class A in one move with NBOMes and benzos going into the "temporary control" category which enforces the same legal penalties as a class B with no real intention to ever be a temporary measure. All it's done is make sure that new compounds are being manufactured with provably worse health risks

The government makes no real effort to enforce the laws against cannabis in this country.

Well the war on drugs is an american phrase so naturally I assumed you were talking about it in an american context. Although one could argue US drug laws have ultimately made the war on drugs a global campaign I do agree that there isn't that big of a campaign against drugs in the UK in comparison to the US.

Depends on the local authorities really, not the Government at large. Essex takes a strong stance against cannabis users particularly growers. I think Kent is the same. It seems to be a south eastern thing, but we do share a few of the services. That said, it is clear these days that it seems relaxed as you can usually smell the stuff - but that might be down to fewer police officers wandering around.
