Dying For Weed
Looking at drug use across Britain. This episode goes on a road trip around the country to meet seriously ill people who believe cannabis is helping them.
This programme was made in 2016. Since November 2018, medical use of cannabis was legalised in the UK when prescribed by a registered specialist doctor. This episode goes on a road trip around the country to meet seriously ill people who believe cannabis is helping them. While it is seen as having no therapeutic value in the UK, in half of the USA's 50 states it has been legalised for medicinal use.

The programme also meets Jeff, a cannabis campaigner distributing cannabis oil to the sick for free. But by resorting to this illegal and unregulated drug, what risks are they all taking?
