Superbly well-connected
We’re in regular contact with senior officials in every relevant Government department and agency. Our public policy analyses have made us the natural choice for politicians to engage and consult with. Groups we’ve met, and will continue to meet, include:
The Prime Minister’s Taskforce on Innovation, Growth and Regulatory Reform
The Home Office’s THC consultation
The Government Chemist’s ring trial

We inform and unite
We don’t believe those working in the sector should be doing so in isolation, so we host lots of networking events and webinars featuring exceptional speakers & panelists.
In 2021 we hosted the inaugural UK Medicinal Cannabis Summit in partnership with and NIHR

Your representation in the corridors of power
Achieving modest shifts in policy, let alone the substantial changes we aspire to make, demands in-depth knowledge of both Westminster & Whitehall
Having access to decision-makers is equally important
We meet both criteria

The Centre for Medicinal Cannabis (CMC) welcomes the Home Office's decision this week to request a review from the Advisory Council of the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) on the current situation regarding schedule 1 drugs and the barriers to research. This includes synthetic cannabinoids and cannabis for research, when being developed for legitimate R&D purposes.
This case was made strongly in both recent reports produced by the CMC, Decalogue and The Hodges Review, where we outlined how the UK can become a world leader and global research hub for subsequent generations of cannabis based medicinal products.
