Cannabis in the UK is still illegal, so unless you're picking up weed from your local dealer, it's not a big thing outside the home.
But price of booze is killing pubs here. Getting close to £8 a pint now in London. £10 for a pint of Guinness in many bars.

- charcircuit 7mo agoIt is not legal in any states. The laws that make it "legal" are unconstitutional (Supremacy Clause).

- ducktastic 7mo agoA few years ago there was a group formed in the UK to designate cask ale/pub culture to be recognized as intangible cultural heritage through UNESCO-- following Belgium's successful foray into its brewing/beer culture being designated this way. There are a few documentaries on youtube
