Weekly Round-up

December 13, 2024

Medicinal Cannabis Matters | Friday roundup 13th December 2024.

Medicinal Cannabis Matters – Our weekly round-up of what has been happening in the world of medicinal cannabis this week.

This week we look into a study that has found cannabinoids to help ease symptoms of MS Spasticity. The new Growlab Organics medicinal cannabis farm set to be built on the Isle of Man has released designs of their exciting new space, we explore. Meanwhile, over in Portugal, they have set out with big ambitions of becoming the European medicinal cannabis hub.

Meta-analysis finds that cannabinoids have been said to ease MS Spasticity.

A review of 31 studies indicates that Nabiximols and other cannabis-based treatments can be effective in managing MS Spasticity and seem to work well. Spasticity is a common symptom of MS and causes the muscles to stiffen or tighten.

GrowLab Organics medicinal cannabis farm set to be built on the Isle of Man.

Designed to bring economic and environmental benefits to the Isle of Man, the facility will be the first of its kind on the Island. Mailen Design has unveiled its design for a medicinal cannabis production facility on the Isle of Man. The sustainable design will have many benefits such as a sawtooth roof with rainwater harvesting the local landscaping.

Portugal dreams of becoming a medicinal cannabis hub.

The country is fast becoming a European hub for medicinal cannabis, with its warm temperate subtropical climate – making it an ideal place to grow medicinal cannabis.
