Following a publication by the UK government’s Chief Medical Adviser, Prof. Dame Sally Davies, Britain’s ACMD (Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs) has issued a recommendation that medical cannabis and cannabis-derived products be moved from schedule 1 to schedule 2 of the MDR (Misuse of Drugs Regulations), which would effectively enable them to be prescribed by physicians.

In the review, which was published in July 2018, Prof. Sally meta-analyzed the results of recent scientific publications in the field of medical cannabis and concluded that there is in fact evidence of therapeutic potential for some conditions by medical cannabis treatment.

The findings were then passed to the ACMD, whose chairman subsequently declared: “We have completed the first part of our review for rapid advice into the scheduling of cannabis-derived medicinal products.”
