The UK has taken tentative steps toward legalising cannabis but has a long way to go before embracing marijuana like other nations. We have a look at the UK cannabis sector and the top UK marijuana stocks.
The UK’s regulatory stance toward cannabis is complex and, in some cases, contradictory. Medicinal cannabis was technically legalised at the start of November 2018 following several high-profile cases about children with severe forms of epilepsy being unable to access potentially life-changing cannabis-based treatment.
Yet, access to legal medicinal marijuana remains extremely limited. It cannot be prescribed by your average general practitioner (GP), only by those listed on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council.
Sativa Group is a seed-to-sale business focused on CBD products for the medicinal and wellness markets, which hopes to become one of a handful of firms allowed to grow cannabis with high levels of THC for medicinal research and development purposes.
