Grow Your Own Campaign
Fighting for the Right to Cultivate Medical Cannabis in the UK
Let’s make the UK a place where patients can grow their own medicine safely, legally, and with dignity. Together, we can build a compassionate and evidence-based cannabis policy.
A Patient-Centred Movement for Compassionate Access
The United Patients Alliance (UPA) proudly launches the Grow Your Own campaign — a movement calling for safe, legal, and affordable access to medical cannabis through home cultivation for patients.
For many across the UK, legal access to medical cannabis remains limited, expensive, or entirely inaccessible. We believe no patient should suffer because of outdated policies or economic barriers.
What We're Fighting For
We are campaigning for:
🔓 Legalisation of home cultivation for verified medical cannabis patients
📃 A licensed, patient-driven framework to grow safely and responsibly
⚖️ Decriminalisation of patients who grow for personal therapeutic use
🗣️ Public and political education on cannabis as a medicine
Why Grow Your Own?
Thousands of patients are being left behind by the current system. “Grow Your Own” is about:
Affordability – Many patients cannot afford private prescriptions
Autonomy – Patients deserve control over their own medicine
Consistency – Reliable, strain-specific access for individual needs
Dignity – No patient should live in fear for managing their symptoms

⚠️ Legal Note
Cannabis remains a controlled substance under UK law. Growing without a Home Office license is currently illegal. UPA’s Grow Your Own campaign seeks to change these laws through democratic means, and does not endorse or encourage illegal activity.
