GrowLab Organics preparing planning application
The founder of a company preparing to cultivate medicinal cannabis on the Isle of Man says it's important the product is affordable.
GrowLab Organics is working on a planning application for a purpose built facility, after being granted a licence in principal.
Speaking on the Mannin Line, Chief Executive Alex Frey said cost is one of a number of important considerations:
Medicinal cannabis can only be sold with a prescription.
The company's Chief Scientific Officer Charlie Price says GPs will need support when the product becomes available:
The company is preparing a planning application which will be submitted in the next few months, and it hopes the facility will be up within a year.
Alex Frey says their licence means they can begin work before the building is complete:
