BBC Horizon A Look At Medicinal Cannabis & Sativex UK

Cannabidiol (CBD) in Industrial Hemp: Eli Lilly Cannabis: http://goo.gl/mwBvI

"A look at the development of SATIVEX, the cannabis derived medicine being grown at the secret location known as Porton Down. Only now was the existence of CBD (Cannabidiol) and its anti-psychotic properties mentioned, and the claim made that some of the newer recreational strains contain no CBD at all (which isnt actually correct, although CBD levels are low in some strains). A good case for the proper regulation of the commercial trade was almost made, but avoided." The UKCIA News Blog http://ukcia.org/wordpress/?p=53

GW files new regulatory application to expand Sativex® approvals to additional European countries 22 November 2011
Porton Down, UK; 22 November 2011: GW Pharmaceuticals plc (AIM: GWP) today announces that it has submitted an application under the European Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP) to seek to expand the marketing authorization for Sativex® to a number of additional European member states.

Porton Down, UK; 22 November 2011: GW Pharmaceuticals plc (AIM: GWP) today announces that it has submitted an application under the European Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP) to seek to expand the marketing authorization for Sativex® to a number of additional European member states.

The new MRP follows successful completion of a previous MRP earlier this year in which recommendation for approval of Sativex® was obtained from regulatory authorities in Germany, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and the Czech Republic. Prior to this, Sativex® received approval in 2010 in the UK and Spain.

The complete list of countries to which the MRP application is being made is currently being finalized. The list is expected to include approximately ten new countries and will mean that if this MRP process is successful, approaching twenty European countries will have recommended approval of Sativex.

It is expected that this new MRP process should complete around mid 2012.

As with the previous MRP, the UK regulatory authority, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), is acting as Reference Member State for the purposes of this new MRP procedure.

Dr Stephen Wright, GW's R&D Director, said, "This new regulatory filing seeks to build on our regulatory successes to date by expanding the approval of Sativex® to several additional European markets. We look forward to progressing this application during the first half of next year."

Sativex® oromucosal spray is a first in class endocannabinoid system modulator for the treatment of spasticity in MS. Sativex® has been developed by UK-based GW Pharmaceuticals and is marketed in Europe (except the UK) by Almirall, S.A. Sativex® is approved in the UK, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, Canada and New Zealand as a treatment of MS spasticity. The product is also in Phase III clinical development as a treatment for cancer pain.

@frankmontis Believe it or not, cannabis actually does "cure" cancer. Yesterday I read a study comparing people with cancer who do use cannabis to people who don't use cannabis. The people using cannabis actually had significantly reduced tumor sizes (some were actually completely cured!), while the control group saw no improvement.

The more you know.

All that stem... Dirty xD

@MrPlasticbagman12 Side note, actually do some homework before responding to people who know more about this than you. Studies have proven cannabis to cure cancer completely in some cases and be benefitial in many others. Don't be a puppet to the media, people are being brainwashed into believing cannabis users can't function as human beings whereas many people are being deprived of a medicine that can help them to function and live a normal or near normal life.

[MrPlasticbagman12]

@DJCalculatedError Actually no. Cannabis has no medicinal benefit what so ever. People with cancer take it because it is a muscle relaxant. Get your facts right before you chat shit.

[martynjhorne]

[TheCosmicGypsies]

@DJCalculatedError Government have known this since the 60's/70's

[TheCosmicGypsies]

@catonthemoonrecords yeah and The Union on google video, better than any BBC (British brainwashing corporation) crap. They always throw in lies. Also the government were asked under the freedom of information act how GW Pharma were allowed to illegally grow marijuana in the UK, the government refused to give out that information. GW Pharma are also working with Bayer who created and sold heroin as a cough suppressant and as a non addictive substitute for morphine... no bullshit. Want their weed?
