Hi Sophie,

Sativex® is one of the first medications derived directly from cannabis. It was developed in the UK by GK Pharmaceuticals, and has been approved there for the longest (mostly for MS-related spasticity), so it should be available to you if you have a condition it's approved for. I could write a lot more here, but I think you can get better/more comprehensive info by googling: sativex
