An interesting read from World Post.
"A chemical compound found in marijuana can now be used for medicinal purposes in the United Kingdom, according to the governmental branch that regulates medicine."
“We have come to the opinion that products containing cannabidiol (CBD) are a medicine,” a spokesman for the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency told The Huffington Post.
They left out THC in their opinion, but CBD is increasingly being recognized as being effective in seizures, pain and order disorders. I find it interesting that the UK, while cracking down on RC's, Kr@tom and other meds, took this step.
Regardless, it looks like a step in the right direction. Hopefully the U.S. government will take notice.
