UK Legality
The production, sale, possession and consumption of cannabis is illegal in the UK. Cannabis plants and resin are Class B drugs in the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1971, as well as Cannabis oil. Cannabis is a schedule 1 drug, meaning that it is considered to have no legitimate therapeutic use.

An older version of this listed cannabis oil as class A. It may well have been at one time but it has been class B since around the time the temporary experiment to make cannabis class C was abandoned.

The misconception it is Class A is still widely bandied about including on official Police websites, presumably due to outdated information being in force, and that understandably very few drug users are going to ring up the Police and tell them “hey, your website is incorrect”. Even more curiously Norfolk Constabulary website (as at 2013-05-02) contains the incorrect info, whilst that of Suffolk leads to a much newer and more accurate leaflet and a link to the NHS – even though both constabularies now share the same website design and Press Liaison units.

In reality no Court would be able to convict someone for class A posession/supply of hash oil though this is in practical terms of little relevance as hash oil is not easy to get as it is messy to store and handle (though can be made locally by those with some scientific knowledge) and in 2013 a dealer of any significant amount of cannabis is nowadays likely to get as heavy a sentence as a similar dealer of class A drugs (though overall sentences are lower across the board compared with a couple of decades ago).
