This course is designed to contextualise cannabis beyond science and law, examining its role in global civilisations, social movements, public perception, and modern cultural discourse.

Structured within a UK-compliant educational framework, this course is strictly informational and academic in nature. It does not promote illegal activity and does not provide cultivation, production, or consumption guidance.

What This Course Covers
