UK gov't says cannabis has 'no medical use' but is world's largest producer and exporter of medical cannabis. Anti drug Victoria Atkins MP's husband owns huge weed farm ! . https://news.sky.com/story/uk-is-worlds-largest-producer-of-legal-cannabis-11278131
Ms Atkins benefits directly from regulation of drugs. She is married to Paul Kenward, managing director of British Sugar which is growing 45 acres of cannabis under licence in its mammoth Norfolk greenhouse. Mr Kenward is producing high CBD cannabis for use in Epidiolex, GW Pharma’s cannabis extract epilepsy medicine. Ms Atkins has tried to brush this off calling it “…a very different substance (from the) psychoactive version of cannabis.” Of course, anyone with even the most basic knowledge of plant science will know this is nonsense. The difference between different strains of cannabis is the same as the difference between different varieties of tomatoes. Whether they’re Ailsa Craig or Alicante, they’re all tomatoes.
With this latest scandal the shameful truth about UK drugs policy and the corrupt nature of this Conservative government is highlighted once again. It is difficult to believe this bare faced dishonesty can prevail in a country that was once held up as an example of honour and decency but as with so much that Theresa May has been responsible for since she entered government in 2010, we are disgraced, shamed and the electorate is treated with absolute contempt.

I made an absolute mint out of GW Pharma shares - the company first came to my attention when my brother was confined to Stanmore Orthopaedic Hospital after a car crash. In their very early days they developed an under-the-tongue spray for use by patients with chronic pain which they first tested among some of the older patients at Stanmore - it was known to those of us with access to it as 'The Headmist' for what I would imagine are obvious reasons, and it was a fantastic hit. Bought some shares at 39p, sold a couple of years ago for £8.25.
I haven't kept a close eye on developments since liquidating my holding, and I think their shares are now only traded on Nasdaq, but they did have various products and lines in development at that point, and have made huge strides in the treatment of many tremor-producing afflictions.
