Growing cannabis for medicine
A tomato grower and chemist bring together their expertise to create a hi-tech nursery for medicinal cannabis.
Charlotte Smith visits a glass house where a tomato grower and a chemist have combined their expertise to set up a state-of-the-art nursery producing medicinal cannabis. James Duckenfield and Richard Lewis saw an opening in the market for high tech, high quality production of the crop, which is grown under licence, with the process closely regulated by the 成人快手 Office.
At a secret location in the English countryside, thousands of cannabis plants are cultivated and harvested every day. The facility produces flowers for pharmaceutical use and cost 拢26 million to set up. The end product is prescribed by doctors privately, for pain relief and things like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, but it鈥檚 not available on the NHS.
