Rejected petition STOP CBD BEING BANNED IN UK AND ONLY CONTROLLED BY BIG PHARMA

Right now the government body MHRA have sent out notices to manufacturers and distributors of CBD (cannabodiol) to cease trading, supplying, advertising or selling any CBD products in the UK within 28 days from 7 October 2016.

More details

Millions of people across the UK now actively depend on CBD as a way to improve quality of life for people who suffer from a variety of symptoms, diseases and chronic pain.

This sudden and brash decision is unlawful and has not been consulted via the public for its opinion in such a important matter that could seriously effect millions of people overnight.
