Abstract

The future's bright, the future's green. Well almost. Just when things were looking up for medical cannabis, the Government pulled the plug and refused it a license. Is this just a blip on the rocky road to legal cannabis products? Or, as many fear, does it signal the end of medical cannabis and possible liquidation for GW Pharmaceuticals, the developer? John Witton, the UK's leading voice on cannabis, speaks to the key players and asks just what got up the nose of the regulators and what, if anything, GW can do to recover.
