About Cannabis Insider

Who we are

Cannabis Insider is an independent UK-focused news and information site. We report on cannabis policy, medical access, policing and courts, industry developments, and practical guides for readers trying to understand a fast-changing landscape.

We are not a dispensary, clinic, or affiliate marketing site dressed up as news. Our primary purpose is editorial: to explain what is happening in UK cannabis law and practice, with sources cited and context for real readers.

What we cover

• UK news — enforcement, courts, policy, and local cases with national relevance
• Medical cannabis — prescribing, access, research, and patient-facing guides
• Industry & business — market developments, imports, and commercial news
• Guides — longer explainers on law, driving, CBD, prescriptions, and related topics
• Product reviews — independent CBD product assessments with clear affiliate disclosure

Editorial standards

We aim for accuracy, clarity, and fairness. News articles cite primary sources where possible — police forces, court reporting, company announcements, peer-reviewed research, and established news outlets. Guides are written to help UK readers understand their options and obligations, not to encourage illegal activity.

Named authors write our articles. We distinguish news reporting from opinion and guides. When we use affiliate links in reviews, that relationship is disclosed and does not influence our news coverage.

Our authors

Articles are published under named bylines including Sarah Mitchell, James Harrington, and Maya Okonkwo. Each piece is attributed to the author who wrote or edited it. Author names appear on article pages alongside publication dates and categories.

Contact & corrections

If you spot an error, have a news tip, or want to request a correction, please contact us. We take factual corrections seriously and will update articles when we verify that something needs amending.

Advertising & affiliates

Cannabis Insider may display advertising and use affiliate links in product reviews. These funding sources support the site but do not determine our news agenda. See our Affiliate Disclosure and Privacy Policy for details.
