Great to see the UK catching up with Canada and the States but the cost of this Epidyolex is a joke. Approx. $32,500 USD a year for CBD oil. Big pharma have to get their hands in somewhere...

Not worth mentioning that GW Pharma's biggest investor is Phillip May & Teresa was PM when the Home Office relaxed the rules on this? And that it's too expensive for the NHS so NICE wont recommend it? Seemed important is all..
