Buying Sativex


Pot Luck

Recommended Posts

Hi peeps.

Is it possible to buy Sativex privately? As in directly from GW or some other outlet? Or can you only get it through a GP/consultant (if ya names barfman :lucky: )?

I was hoping I could bypass beaurocracy and go straight to the source :( I shall speak to my GP.

¿Hasn't that just changed - can't GPs prescribe it now? :smug:

(Whether they will or not though is another matter :rofl:).

It's just a crude cannabis extract made into a tincture with ethanol (drinking alcohol) AFAIK. :ninja:

But didn't they painstakingly breed and patent a strain that gives roughly equal proportions of THC and CBD to better treat pain/spasticity (so that if you made an extract of just any old strain it might not be as an effective drug)?

Or did they just do that for legal or marketing reasons so that they can say their extract is 'special' in some way and more effective than 'street' cannabis?

I think the only thing that GW have a patent for is the extraction method.

From what little I know, I think the active compounds are alcohol extractred (as stated above) and then fractionally distilled.
