Dear Home Office,

thank you for your reply but it seems you have failed to answer the question which was
"Is it a crime in the uk to consume cannabis?

your reply to this question was "unauthorised production (including domestic cultivation), possession, supply and importation, etc. – for whatever purpose – are illegal activities " this does not answer the question i asked.

i await your answer to this simple question
answers that are irrelevant to the question should not be sent as its a waste of both our times and please do not add things like "etc." to your reply as this is not correct information and can be misconstrued in many ways

Yours faithfully,

Lee Hollingworth
