So tell us about it in more detail please.
Yes alcohol is widely available subsidised in Westminster bars, so that's a factor.
The power of Big Pharma affects newspapers (and tv?) via advertising and heavily influences NHS & private medicine.
The alcohol industry is mostly not keen on cannabis.

I have nothing but respect for this gentleman. He has summarised well the corrupt and dysfunctional UK political system and corporate influence that permeates it.

Why the UK is a two-tier society where money wields power Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.

The UK is in decline where money wields power.

Normal people toil and are just voting fodder.

Brian Paddick was a senior Metropolitan police officer who in 2001 pioneered the limited decriminalisation of cannabis in a pilot scheme in Lambeth, south London. His comments come after the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, backed calls for the partial decriminalisation of cannabis possession. Continue reading...

Doesn't this tell you that the legal cannabis industry is under huge pressure? That Californians want access, but have to turn to illicit operations?

Legality just seems like a wink and nod, and has gone back to funding criminal groups, with government blessing.

The water industry shows how the state indulges corporations to the detriment of society Since 1989, water companies have been the subject of over 1,100 criminal convictions, but governments are content for them to control the industry.

When is a fine not a fine?
When it is levied on England's water companies.

Aug 2024: OFWAT announced £168m fine on 3 companies. ZERO Paid.

Dec 2024: £18m fine on Thames Water for paying unjustified dividends. ZERO Paid.

Regulatory indulgence emboldens companies, encourages more abuses.

The ACT (Australia’s equivalent to the District of Colombia) decriminalised limited home growth of #cannabis back in 2020. After five years, this is what we’ve learnt.👇🏻
