You 'May' think the headline is just a click bait but you would be wrong. The UK grows cannabis. Infact we currently hold the title of 'worlds biggest medical cannabis producer'. AND, would you Adam and Eve it, our very own Prime Minister's husband & drugs minister look set to make an absolute fortune from it too. This is England 2019...

UK Grows Weed | Buddy Big Money

The United Nations has revealed that the UK is the largest producer of Medical Cannabis. 95 Tonnes were grown in the UK in 2016 alone for 'medicinal and scientific use'.

Had your or I accomplished the same feat they would have brought back the death penalty just for us!

According to the INCB (International Narcotics Control Board), the UK contributes a stonking 44.9% of the worlds total legitimate cannabis cultivation.

UK Grows Weed | Where?!

British Sugar was one of a handful given license to grow cannabis. Licenses issued by the UK government directly and purely to supply GW pharmaceuticals only.

They do not yet offer their extracts to regular folk in the UK, but this is likely to change next year. Much of this cannabis is exported, with some being used by pharma companies based in the UK. The medical cannabis is then used to make MS drug Sativex, epilepsy drug Epidiolex and Nabilone to ease pain and nausea in patients having chemotherapy.

It is important to note that these cannabis plants will include a high level of CBD as well as THC so not as potent as high THC weed.

Yet it is cannabis none the less.

Medical Cannabis in the UK?

In 2018 the Home Secretary Sajid Javid announced that the UK had changed the legal framework and policy relating to medical cannabis. This followed months of pressure from patients and families who had been previously denied access to cannabis derived products. The UK government acknowledged that patients should be able to access medical cannabis through the NHS on prescription.

The framework set out by the UK government states that when there is clear evidence of its benefits Medical cannabis can be prescribed. It goes on further to state that when all other treatment options have been explored and exhausted.

Patients who fall into the following categories can be considered:

Children with rare forms of epilepsy

Adults with acute vomiting and nausea caused by chemotherapy

Adults with muscle stiffness caused by multiple sclerosis

An estimated 600,000 people are diagnosed with epilepsy, 107,000 who have MS.

So how many people in the UK have actually been prescribed medical cannabis? According to reports only a handful. Read more

UK Grows Cannabis? | MP's to profit!

The UK PM once claimed she ran through fields of wheat, in a few years time it could well be fields of weed...

GW Pharmaceuticals is one of the industry giants, which uses the UK's medical cannabis to make their medicinal cannabis products.

It seems that our very own Prime minister Theresa May has a green finger or two! Mrs May's husband Phillip's company is one of GW's biggest investors.

Good times will be had!

Fear not the fun doesn't stop here, drugs Minister Victoria Atkin's husband is the managing director of British Sugar. They grow tonnes of high CBD cannabis and hemp, for GW Pharmaceuticals.

So at least someone will have a bulging bank account from the growth and sale of cannabis. An activity that would see us locked up, the hypocrisy is obscene.

So then, It is probably purely coincidental that just days after the Home Secretary revised the government's position on medical cannabis, GW had been granted FDA approval for their own cannabis-derived medicine Epidiolex.
