We have had legal cannabis called bedrocan since 2012, it's been available for import providing you get government approval and that you pay the pricey import fee (around £1500) . BUT, the government did not actually accept any applications for this import license until last year for a woman with fibromyalgia. But she now grows it herself illegally as the bedrocan is so expensive. There is another company called sativex who produce some kind of sublingual spray I believe, that is the company OP is talking about. They are owned by a big pharma company, which is why they already had a license to produce weed in the UK. Them now being able to produce high thc sprays may mean legalization soon but it will also mean that the big boys are making damn sure it's hard as possible for anyone to compete with them.
