Update on Bournemouth Police Complaint

Dorset Police apologized for their inappropriate social media post about cannabis but left the original post live, causing ongoing confusion.

We're escalating this to the IOPC to ensure fair treatment for medical cannabis patients.

We stand with you. 💚
A graphic with a green background, featuring a white exclamation mark icon in a circle. The text reads, "Update on Bournemouth Police Complaint [Part 2]" in bold letters. Yellow and black police tape designs frame the edges, creating a sense of urgency and caution. A screenshot of a written response from Dorset Police regarding a complaint. The response explains that the comment about cannabis in a social media post was inappropriate and acknowledges it could cause concern to individuals with prescribed medical cannabis. Dorset Police apologises for any upset caused and mentions they have clarified the position with officers and advised them to consider future wording carefully. The apology ends with a statement that no offence was intended. A message from PatientsCann UK titled "Community Update on Dorset Police Complaint." The text discusses dissatisfaction with Dorset Police’s handling of a complaint regarding their social media post about cannabis. The update notes that while Dorset Police acknowledged their mistake and clarified in the comments, the original post remains visible. PatientsCann UK emphasises this allows ongoing misunderstanding and harm. The post declares an escalation to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and reassures the community of PatientsCann UK’s support and advocacy for patients prescribed medical cannabis. Decorative icons include a fist flexing and a heart.

⚖️ The issue is being handled locally, and we’ve been informed it’s being chased this week. However, we are disappointed by the delays in resolving this matter, especially as the original post remains live, along with inaccurate news reports, continuing to spread misinformation and stigma.
A formal letter from Dorset Police's Professional Standards Department, dated 10 December 2024, addressed to Mr. S Aziz, Director at PatientsCann UK. The letter acknowledges a complaint made against the police and confirms it has been formally recorded under Part 2 of the Police Reform Act 2002. It states the complaint will be handled at the local police level, with the local neighbourhood inspector tasked with resolving it. The letter also provides guidance on escalating the matter to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) if dissatisfaction remains after the complaint is resolved.

📢 We’ve received confirmation that our complaint about Bournemouth Police's social media post misrepresenting medical cannabis has been formally recorded under the Police Reform Act 2002.
The image features a green background with a white exclamation mark inside a circle at the top. Below it, bold white text reads, "Update on Bournemouth Police Complaint." At the bottom, there is a yellow and black striped police tape graphic labeled "POLICE."

PatientsCann UK is challenging Network Rail's restrictive new policy (NRA24-13), which unfairly bans most legal cannabis prescriptions, risks Equality Act breaches, and forces patients off treatment.
