Episode Details

Charlotte Caldwell, a mother from County Tyrone, is advocating for a regulated adult market for recreational cannabis in the UK. Her son, Billy, has severe epilepsy and was the first Brit to receive an NHS cannabis prescription. However, the current system is flawed, with patients often resorting to private scripts or dealers due to limited NHS access. Caldwells efforts led to the legalization of medical cannabis in the UK, but she now pushes for a regulated market to cut billions from the black market and fund public services. The Isle of Man is set to vote on setting up a citizens jury to map out a legal recreational cannabis setup, which Caldwell sees as a potential blueprint for the UK.
