End GW Pharmaceuticals' monopoly on cannabis/cannabis based medicines in the UK.
GW prices/far above what is reasonable.It allocates inefficiency and decline in consumer welfare.Little incentive to offer good quality service. May exploit monopsony buying power;use of dominant market position to squeeze profit margins. Doesn't promote competition Abuse of monopoly power.
60% of preparations in chemist shops before prohibition were cannabis based. GW Pharma does not monitor patients on Sativex, as there is little chance of adverse reaction/dependency.Side effects are minimal. In legal US states, similar products are sold at a fraction of the cost of Sativex,in dispensaries,or can easily be made at home.Regulation of testing laboratories is imperative.NO MORE SKUNK.Regulate cannabis and end the GW Pharmacy's monopoly on medical cannabis.We are not going away.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start new a petition calling for all production of medical cannabis to cease in the UK.
If you would like medical use of cannabis to be made legal in the UK, or the laws on cannabis to be relaxed more generally, there are a number of petitions on petition.parliament.uk (petition.parliament.uk/petitions?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=cannabis&state=open&commit=Search) relating to cannabis, which you may wish to sign.
