BBC - Drugs Maps of Britain (2016) Part 4 Dying for Weed

Drugs Maps Of Britain

A landmark series exploring the drugs of choice in different parts of the UK. From Mamba in Wolverhampton to Heroin in Manchester, this series lifts the lid on the narcotic landscape of Britain today.

Part 4 Dying for Weed

In the fourth episode of Drugs Map of Britain, we go on a road trip around the country to meet seriously ill people who believe cannabis is curing them. The UK Government says the drug has “no therapeutic value”, but in half of the USA’s 50 states it has been legalised for medicinal use. Andy, Phil and others all believe that cannabis can - if not cure their condition - give them much needed pain relief. And we meet Jeff, 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?
