UNDERSTANDING THE UK AND EUROPEAN MEDICAL CANNABIS MARKET

 

The UK and European medical cannabis markets operate within highly regulated frameworks involving cultivation, processing, importation, distribution, prescribing, and dispensing.

Successfully operating within these markets requires an understanding of regulatory requirements, commercial pathways, and the roles of the various participants involved across the supply chain.
