Nearly 10,000 people in the UK have paid for a Cancard since it was launched in January 2019 - and they're easier than ever to obtain!
Since launch, 108 out of 113 stops by police have been stopped from taking further action, and all 108 allowed to keep their cannabis.
These numbers suggest the action, which is backed by police, and MP's is working as planned despite early concerns about its legality.
What's a Cancard? Where To Buy A Cancard UK?
The Cancard is a holographic ID card that's meant to cover the card- holder from arrest and having their drugs taken. It informs any police officer that may have stopped the card- holder that they use cannabis for medical reasons.
It’s hoped to inhibit the police from arresting the case or expropriating their drug – indeed if the cannabis was bought from the black request.
It’s available to anyone with a qualifying condition, the list of which is relatively broad but does include. Cancard FAQ: here.

The action was created in collaboration with croakers and has the public backing of several MPS and elderly police representatives. Not every medical organisation is on board, however.
As well as an ID card, holders can have a digital interpretation of the card on their phone in order to further convenience.
Interview
Speaking to The Cannavist, Carly Barton, who's a well- known cannabis activist in the UK, said she's overjoyed with the numbers which prove the card is working to help apprehensions and allowing cases to keep their drug.
She said, “ The maturity of stops are reported to us because the police will frequently ring our helpline to check the database. However, the police can call and check the register to see if the card is real, If a card is presented. After that, we're seeing that they're letting their cases go without any farther issue.”

Fear
Carly also spoke of the fear cannabis cases experience when stopped by police for consuming their drug.
She says, “ A lot of these people through no fault of their own are really floundering with their health and they're in fear of the very people who are meant to be guarding them for taking commodity that has been helping them.
