UK's First Licensed Cannabis Facility Opens
The UK's first fully licensed medicinal cannabis facility, Dalgety, aims to revolutionize cannabis production by growing, packaging, and selling the drug directly to pharmacies from a single location. Founded by James Leavesley, who transitioned from the oil and gas industry, the facility is highly secure and employs advanced agricultural techniques. Despite the high costs and regulatory hurdles, Dalgety plans to produce enough cannabis for 4,000 prescriptions monthly by January. However, access to medicinal cannabis remains limited on the NHS, with most prescriptions issued through private clinics.
