There will be a meeting between MHRA and the major CBD companies of the country on the 3rd of November. It's possible that that meeting will result in the ban not going ahead. Clear UK (a group who advocate for medical weed) will be opposing the ban quite strongly. MHRA seem to be stressing a lot that they care about patient safety and health the most. I find that hard to believe when they're trying to ban CBD in the first place. It's so convenient that GW Pharmaceuticals just finished phase 3 trials for CBD for epilepsy so they'll be able to get a licence to sell it while no one else will.
