"Medical cannabis has been legal in the UK since 2018, and it is now one of the leading markets for medical cannabis in Europe - in terms of both supply and demand. The market is estimated to be worth some £250 million and growing. Of course, being a global financial hub, much of that trade has connections to London. But what exactly goes on?"
"There are currently some 60,000 medical cannabis patients across the UK. Given that some 10% of the UK's population lives in London a few thousand at least will live here. While large medical cannabis farms might not be found in The Big Smoke, many are dotted around the counties bordering the capital. As well as that, half a dozen top medical cannabis clinics have headquarters in city limits."

Around 60,000 medical cannabis patients live across the UK, with several thousand likely in London. Cultivation sites are mainly in counties bordering the capital, while half a dozen prominent medical cannabis clinics have headquarters within London. The city's global financial institutions, wealthy investors and universities attract investment. Local political support and metropolitan police recognition of medical cannabis cards aid patient security. A sizable black market persists, with many users self-medicating.
