UK grants second only licence to grow medical marijuana

[Terry_Flanagan1]

"A Jersey-based start-up has been granted the second only licence in the British Isles to cultivate pharmaceutical-grade cannabis for profit, more than two decades after the first permit was issued.

Northern Leaf has been awarded a licence to grow cannabis for medical use by the government of Jersey under UK Home Office rules and is preparing to cultivate marijuana in a greenhouse sprawling across 75,000 square feet. It plans to start supplying drugmakers in the UK, Denmark, Germany, Spain and Portugal by the end of this year."

When do we get permits for growing for individual medical use, that's the question?

When do we get permits for growing for individual medical use

Knowing how sluggish the political establishment is you can expect that to take some time if it ever happens. All dependent on which country we are in of course.
