In this episode, we’re joined by Richard List who is the Controlled Drugs Liaison Officer (CDLO) at Thames Valley Police, as well as the author of the recent UK Police Medical Cannabis Guidance.

We are also hosting a webinar near the end of this month for Doctors with Richard. If you are a Doctor, please sign-up via our Doctor Portal: https://doctors.growgroup.org/

This episode draws on Richard's experience as a former street policeman and CDLO, sharing real-world insight into:

-Driving legally as a patient
-What to do if you’re stopped by police
-How officers are being educated around prescribed cannabis
-The cannabis community
-Common misconceptions
-How clearer guidance is helping bridge the gap between patients and policing

...and much more!

This honest, practical conversation is an essential listen for medical cannabis patients, advocates, and anyone navigating the realities of UK law enforcement.
