This article is a bit of joke and shows how far behind Britain is, in terms of cannabis use, compared to a place like the Bay Area.
10% THC cannabis was routine 10 years ago in the BA. Now, you can get 99.5% THC- a medicinal extract with extensive purification and attestable quality- although it is pricey (you pay for purification). It's consumed with a vaporizer, no combustion products if you set the heater low enough.
Most of this product is purchased by well-heeled techies and other successful business and industry types; one of the nice things about mostly pure THC is that it's not completely debilitating (for experienced users).
Whether there is an actual medical situation with high concentration THC would require much better studies.
